Still find it hard to believe than Ryan Howard (who leads the majors in homers) is not playing in the Midsummer Classic, yet Fukodone and Soto are??
Fukudome and Soto were voted in by the fans, and Soto's hitting .288 with 16 HR and 56 RBI at catcher.
He's very deserving.
Ryan Howard has been hitting .340 in July to raise his average to .234 at first base. He was hitting .218 on July 1 when most of the All-Star decisions were made.
The other NL first basemen are:
Berkman (.347, 22 HR, 73 RBI, 15 SB)
Pujols (.350, 18 HR, 50 RBI)
Gonzalez (.276, 22 HR, 71 RBI)
Gonzalez is the lone Padre and plays in the toughest hitters park.
Howard plays in the easiest park for homers.
You can't take four first basemen.
