Anderson and Wendle beat him out. He wasn't really even close to making it.

Now he will probably go back to trying to hit HRs so he can make next year's AS game.

He's a borderline top 10 SS, but he's not an all-star. If he can keep his current numbers (.280/.740) then he'll have a chance at a few all star games because of his defense, and players that have done it for a few years will always get the nod over guys that haven't.

JP has the tools to be an .800 OPS hitter. He just needs to not have months like he had in April and May... in bad months he's gotta be low .700's OPS... great months high .800's OPS.

All Stars are consistent... their numbers don't fall off like crazy.

Gold Glove, ok, fine.

All Star? Come on JP... It's embarrassing if he thought he'd earned the all star game.
