Silent Star Leads List of All-Star Snubs

For a week now, we've listened to sports experts debate whether or not Stephen Strasburg should represent the National League in Tuesday's All-Star game. The answer is...NO. Strasburg isn't even the best rookie in the National League. At least, not yet. That award goes to...no, not Atlanta's Jayson Heyward. The top rook in the show is Cardinals starter Jaime Garcia. The southpaw is 8-4 with a 2.17 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, .229 BAA and 80 K's in 99.2IP.
Garcia has a lower ERA than Tim Lincecum, Tim Hudson, Yovani Gallardo, the legendary Ubaldo Jimenez and teammate Chris Carpenter. He is the 1st major league pitcher since 1994 to finish the 1st half of the season ranked in the top-5 in ERA and not be selected as an All-Star. Enough said.
