Angels center fielder Mike Trout added another accolade to his impressive resume on Sunday afternoon, earning his sixth consecutive All-Star Game selection.

I guessing he'll play in the ASG before his return to the team. 

Will see you July 14th in Anaheim vs Tampa Bay

[JAHV76]

I'm excited he made the team but I hope he doesn't play considering he's still not 100% and the game is meaningless

The center fielder, who is recovering from thumb surgery, took batting practice Friday at Angel Stadium and will need to do so for three to five more days before starting a minor league rehab assignment.

“He feels good with it,” manager Mike Scioscia said. “But he needs the batting practice just to get the stamina up and make sure that everything’s firing the way it should.”

Trout could begin play Tuesday for triple-A Salt Lake or for Class-A Inland Empire.

The first half of the major league season ends July 9. If Trout starts playing early in the week, a return in Texas before ends is plausible. If he requires more time, he’d likely target the first day after the All-Star break, July 14 against Tampa Bay, for his return.

Angels fans don't vote. They barely to make it to games before the second inning and they have to leave before the eighth.

Oh would please shut your yap. Enough of this bullshit of slamming the Angels, the players, fans and just go the hell back to Canada and watch your hockey teams fail at their national sport.

Funny that you should say that ... I left in the eighth inning of Weavers no hitter into a oddly very quiet parking lot. I didn't know until I got into my car and turned the game on. 

In my defense my son was 5 years old at the time and driving me nuts.

you can imagine how I felt

That's 5 AL SS chosen ahead of Simmons, including the two that got booted off the position for him on their national team

It's an exhibition.  It doesn't matter.  It's for marketing.  It's for kids.

And the biggest point is it is an All STAR Game.  Star is the key word.  Derek Jeter was not often the best shortstop in the league but he was a huge STAR.

If there was one "All STAR Cast" movie made every year, I doubt anyone would be complaining that it wasn't a perfect representation of the greatest actors.

I literally could not care less personally who is on that team.  My kid wants to see Trout vs. Harper.

Keep it simple.  It's stars.  It's for the kids.

I guess I'm still a kid

That's all well and good except the winner determines hfa in the World Series.

I get that.  But since I am quite sure the Angels will not be in the World Series, that doesn't make me care who is in the game or who wins.

This is why I need to stop coming to AW for baseball news. That's a big deal and the first I've heard of it.

[jsnpritchett]

He won't be playing in the game:

Season over

Pussy

Since Trout's not playing and the Halos have no all-stars, maybe they'll let Espinosa in the HR Derby. Hopefully he can hit soft toss.

Well after Mike Trout we probably have the equivalent of Roseanne Barr that we could send to the All Star Game.
