How dare you think that I would forget the legend himself Eduardo Nunez

[lucasfrancisco]

Can add Scooter Gennett to that Red's forgotten all-star team too!

shoutout to Steve Delabar who was the last man voted in on the AL in 2013

A few other guys to add to the list:

Wade Miley, 2012-Was actually a rookie this year, and a damn good one. Came in second in ROY voting. No-hit my Indians recently, and may make a second All-Star team this year.

Nate McLouth, 2008-One of many forgotten Pirate All-stars of their wilderness years, he was a pretty good ballplayer, making an All-Star team and winning a gold glove this year. It could be argued in hindsight that his defense was overrated due to sabremetrics finding him to have far below average range, but he still had a phenomenal year at the plate.

Mike Williams, 2002 & 2003-A 2-time All-Star, is on here because not only is he forgotten, but in 2003, he was maybe the worst All-Star of all time. Unfortunately, Baseball-Reference doesn't separate between 1st and 2nd halves, luckily, he was traded just after the All-Star break to Philly from Pittsburgh. His stats in Pittsburgh: 1-3 with a 6.27 ERA and 25 saves, and a WAR of -0.8. Yuck. Rather than send him to the All-Star game, I'd be sending him to Triple or even Double A.

Brock Holt, 2015-Hit for the cycle that year, and then famously became the only player to do so in Postseason history in 2018.

Jason Castro, 2013-Had a great year for the worst team in Astros history in getting to his only All-Star team, hitting .276 with 18 HRs and 56 RBIs and 4.2 WAR. Unfortunately, he stagnated after that and could never get back to that form.



I could go further, but you get the point: there's many forgotten All-Stars, or at least guys people forget were All-Stars.

Gotta add Brian LaHair to a list of forgotten All-Stars.

[bzyyktc]

Yosmany Tomas hit 30 hr with the d-backs in 2016 and hasn’t been the same since maybe next vid

[garrettgallman]

I'll never forget the GOAT Trevor Cahill

[SouthMingo]

Alfredo Simon was an all-star with the Reds in 2014.

[beeorsomething]

Video series idea: reverse split smashers
You go over a couple semi-unknown players who were way better against their same handedness pitchers in career rather than the opposite handedness (which is against what you would normally expect)

[jarhead]

My favorite is Derrick Turnbow, mainly because he had an ERA over 9.00 after the all star break. So he was an all star in a season where his final ERA was well over 6.00

[alexalmond]

That Michael Saunders, Franklin Gutierrez and Ichiro Seattle outfield was real fun to watch

[windexspraybottle]

a suggestion would be derek norris of the athletics. he was never very good but had 1 strange all star season and then returned to being a below average player.

[dontmindmeimjustspectating]

I remember Micharl Saunders and I think I was actually in Canada part of that summer

[LLCool]

Ah Cozart……another great Angels signing by the front office #pain

[CycloneBurnesMusic]

Another name would be Vincente Padilla. Both him and Randy Wolf were aces of the Phillies in the early 2000s

[theteasports]

Jeff Locke is one that people forget from the 2013 All Stars. He was never that good in his career

[benvanlysal]

Joe Jimenez, he is not great now and had a few great months on those really bad Tigers teams

[holmes]

Regarding Michael Saunders.
The Jays pushed HARD for the fanbase to vote for him. Being himself Canadian, the fanbase was really behind Saunders and made it happen.

Miguel montero(2014), justin Smoak, ricky Romero, adam duvall, grant Balfour, and ross stripling

[itslunaforever]

One guy that could be a forgotten allstar could be Justin Duchscherer of the Oakland Athletics. Sure he won it twice so I'm not too surprised he wasnt on here, but I'm sure if you were to mention his name, no one would know who you'd be talking about
