Calgary Nets 2 All Stars

While nobody from the Pioneers was voted in as a starter for this year’s All Star Game, two of Calgary’s players were selected as substitutes. Third baseman Alfonso Trinidad was selected for the first time in his career after finishing a strong second in the voting with 11 votes. Starting pitcher Jefferson Pierce was selected for the fourth time, despite garnering only a single vote.

“I’m glad they got picked,” Calgary manager Terry Cochran said. “Al is having a standout year and Black Lightning continues to be one of the top hurlers in the league.”

Trinidad is hitting .315 with 20 HR and 67 RBIs. His .939 OPS is more than 150 points higher than last season, which by all standards was a good one. He looks likely to hit over 30 homers for the second year in a row and break the 100 mark in RBIs for the first time in his career.

Pierce is 7-3, 3.59 ERA with a 1.12 WHIP. Only once in the past 6 seasons has he has a WHIP over 1.20. This season he is doing a better job of keeping the ball in the park while still striking out more than a player per inning.

Trinidad did get to play in the game going hitless in 2 at bats. Pierce remained in the bullpen and didn’t see any action.
