Heath Bell is an All-Star!!!

by Dex on Jul 7, 2010 12:37 PM PDT

Make no mistake of this: I am psyched that Heath Bell is an All-Star. I am happy for him and his family and there's a little bit of justice in the world now.

Apparently, Heath Bell is going to replace someone named Yovanni Gallardo who probably only made it in because his name is so interesting to say. Where will Mat Latos be during the ASG? Where will Mike Adams be? Probably chillin', the both of them.

These rosters are so convoluted and huge and having a player from each team doesn't make sense. You know how I would do it? I'd have each Division send a team of 12 All-Stars. 9 position players and 3 pitchers (starter or relief). Would that add complication? Sure it would. Would it be much more cool? As cool as anything else, I'd say.

Great News

I was kinda hoping Latos would take Gallardo’s spot but I’m thrilled for Heath. He deserves it and I’m sure it will be cool to play in OC where he’s from. Hopefully he isn’t the losing pitcher haha.

Padres should and better win tonight.

GO PADRES

Mat Latos is the real deal...Go Lakers, Pads, and Bolts

I was hoping the same thing….I would rather that the best starting pitcher go. But its hard to overlook the stabilizing force in the pen that Bell has been since Hoffy left. That closer gig, aint no joke.

Just saw a tweet from Friarhood that Gallagher was just traded

Sucks. I thought for sure we'd get Cliff Lee for Gallagher.

There's something for Heath's resume.
