Given the start to the Mets season, it’s hysterical, at first glance, that the team has the most All-Stars (four), of any team in the National League. They have more All-Stars than the Yankees (three), despite the Yankees playing in baseball’s toughest division and the Mets one of the weakest – and the Yankees have a significantly better record.
But when you look at the names on the team – David Wright, Carlos Beltran, Francisco Rodriguez and Johan Santana – only Beltran is a questionable selection to the team, and that’s because of injury. If he had been healthy, all four would be deserving selections. That doesn’t even take into account the injury to Jose Reyes, who also would have been in contention.
