Seriously, who could you put over RA Dickey right now to start the NL all star game

[jjgold]

Strausburgh is best pitcher in MLB

Its not even close for second

Every GM picks him to start game 1 of any WS

A lot pf rookies out tonight

[antifoil]

strasbrug isn't an ace yet. you can't be a number 1 starter until you prove you can go over 200 IP year after year.

but in a one game scenario i can see why you would pick strasburg.

[BuddyBear]

Greinke has the highest WAR for all NL pitchers.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Cain will start the NL all star game if he gets the perfect game here.

Ummm....no, that's not how it works.

[LT Profits]

Greinke has the highest WAR for all NL pitchers.

Gio not far behind though (Greinke 3.0, Gio 2.7) and Gio has been more consistent due to Greinke's drastic home/away splits. And Strasburg is next at 2.6. (Nationals +1200 to win World Series anyone?) But DICKEY might move all the way up to second after tonight.

[PickWinnerAllDay]

Ummm....no, that's not how it works.

Um, yes. His stats are good enough to start and this will push it over the top.

[antifoil]

isn't it st. louis manager that gets to decide? he will start lynn.

[Brock Landers]

isn't it st. louis manager that gets to decide? he will start lynn.

I think larussa is managing the NL

[stevenash]

Matt Cain is the best pitcher in both leagues right now

[CTOWNsCAPPIN]

Lance Lynn

[zoo youk]

Lance Lynn

this guy is a complete fluke and will have an ERA over 4 by seasons end.

[face]

dickey is the man

$$$$$ all year

[PickWinnerAllDay]

I was in a Knoxville grocery store just now picking up some food and what do I see on the book shelf? A book by R.A. Dickey... I wonder what the journeyman knuckleballer has to say.

[doylfish]

Gio or Cain, league mentality will probably prevent a knuckleballer from starting an all-star game no matter how good dickey has been this season

[BuddyBear]

Um, yes. His stats are good enough to start and this will push it over the top.

So how much you want to bet that Matt Cain does not start the All-Star game? Real money or SBR points?

[BuddyBear]

Cain will start the NL all star game if he gets the perfect game here.

And lol, who cares who starts the all-star game. Perfect games don't mean anything to anyone.

It'd be a dumb bet for me, because for all I know, Cain is scheduled to start the game before the all star game. Last year, the guy who was supposed to start couldn't because of how his rotation felt. If Cain is not on short rest, he'll start.

okay, let's just bet then who is originally named the all start starter...whether he actually starts or not does not matter.

[zoo youk]

[PickWinnerAllDay]

With Dempster and Beachy to the DL, he only has Cain as his competition.

[YorkHunt]

the next 2 games from him and cain will determine the starter.

Ill give the edge to Cain as he has the bigger name and bats than the mets do. But if it ended now its Dickey

[zoo youk]

Him and Cain neck to neck but the will give the edge to dickey cause his win loss record. Dumb but just how it is

[Brock Landers]

Strassburg is right there with em

[zoo youk]

Strassburg is right there with em

na not enough body of work to start the game. he'll def throw an inning or two but wont be starting

[GunShard]

Definitely put your money on him.

[broadway6]

But for the record, my more serious answer is Matt Cain.

His 0.94 WHIP is obscene.

answer to the question

[gambling god]

If Cole Hamels had a healthy Howard and Utley in the lineup he would be 15-0 but please vote Dickey in so i can make a biggest All Star wager ever on the American Leauge and see how good Dickey really is when he gets torched in two innings.
