So what better opportunity than this to run through a list of this season's "Anti-All-Stars." Anti-All-Stars is far too bland a name, though, so we decided to name the team in honor of Andruw Jones. After all, he was the poster child for guys not earning the lucrative contracts bestowed on them last season. We'll sort through each position and find the player who is least helping his team in comparison to expectations -- whether monetary or from management.Meet the 2009 Andruw Jones All-Stars originally appeared on Fanhouse MLB Blog on Thu, 02 Jul 2009 15:30:00 EDT .

I second Evan Grant's defense of Kevin Millwood

Via dallasnews.com  |  July 03, 2009
ESPN.com's Rob Neyer says Kevin Millwood isn't deserving of an All-Star bid, though he'll probably get one. Neyer uses fan graphs to illustrate that Millwood has left a large number of baserunners stranded and benefitted from defense.

Who should be the Rangers' closer right now?

Via dallasnews.com  |  July 02, 2009
I have argued that if Frank Francisco is healthy that he should be the closer for this team. He was dominant before the shoulder injury sidelined him and deserves a chance to get his job back. But right now, C.J. Wilson should be this team's closer. Maybe you have Wilson do it until the All-Star break or shortly thereafter until you're confident that Francisco is OK. Francisco's...
