The matter of fact is that he's contributed more to his team in one month than guys like Hunter Pence have in 3.

Look at his WAR.

The true baseball fan knows Puig belongs in the game, because this is what the game is for.

I'm not sure how much you follow this, but every year there are mediocre players making the ASG because of a hot start, or because of the team they're on.

The fans want him in.

He could help the NL more than the other guys in the discussion can.
