I could see Ozzie Albies making it, and while he's a good player, I'm not so sure he should.
Folty has good numbers, but outside of he CG shutout, if you ever watch him, you'd know he isn't an All Star
Dan Winkler has been lights out, but he's also a middle reliever

Not Folkewicz?

Whatever his name is

He has the numbers, so he might make it, but I've watched every start. He has the best stuff on the team, and some of the best stuff in the league. When he can put it all together, he's capable of doing what he did last Friday night, but he's also capable of going 5 innings, striking out 10 while walking 5.

His ERA is low because he doesn't really give up a lot of hard hit balls(his stuff is no joke), but there's plenty of games where he gets ahead of every batter 0-2 and ends up walking 4 or 5 of them.

He's the biggest headcase of a starting pitcher I've ever seen in a Braves uniform. Let one close pitch be called a ball, or let one ground ball find a hole, and his face turns red and you can bank on at least a couple walks that inning.

Posey will be voted in, though I a man not certain he actually deserves it yet THIS YEAR.
Belt deserved it until his appendix burst. Now, who knows how he does when he gets back.
Crawford is putting up MVP-level numbers the last 5 weeks or so, but his first 4 weeks were really bad. He SHOULD still make it without much trouble, though.

I suspect Craw and Posey will be the Giants only reps this year.

Teams love helping the Astros

They gave up next to zero for Verlander and Cole

So I'd expect Herrera to be another gift

We got a World Series (via Houston - thank you) and we now have a future
