The Morning Glory 2062.02: All-Stars

[bcslouck]

The Oysters are only sending 2 players to the mid-Summer classic.

SS Lúcio Guevara will be going to his 3rd straight All-Star. He goes into the game approaching or besting his career highs and will start at SS. After a down power year in 2061, it's come back in a big way, already belting 21. He's currently sitting at a career high 3.6 WAR and 122 OPS+ and 128 wRC+. It's also another great year defensively, with a career high defensive efficiency.

Malik bin Mazin will be going to his 6th straight All-Star game. bin Mazin is having another fantastic year on his way to the HOF. He should get close to 3000 hits this year with an eye on May 2063 on getting that legendary hit. His home/road splits are more extreme than usual. Not to say his .894 OPS on the road is something to worry about. His .349 has him competing for another batting title and his 1.038 OPS leads the whole BBA. His HR numbers are down which probably are why he's on the bench this year. But keep an eye on his doubles. Currently, at 41, he's on pace for 72, which would be 2nd all time. That would also be only the 4th such season and he'd be the first player in BBA history to hit over 70 double twice.

In an expected down year for the Oysters, it's no surprise they are low on representatives.
