If they actually picked Allstars based on merit as opposed to name Escobar would be making a pretty decent case to be on the Allstar team this year. I still think Asdrubal Cabrera has been the best SS this year, and Jed Lowrie would be tough to beat out, but Escobar in my opinion is leaps and bounds above Derek Jeter who'll be voted in based on name. Jeter has been a lot of mediocre offensively since the first 6 weeks of last year. He's basically hanging around trying to become the first Yankee to get 3000 hits. If he wasn't a legend, the Yankees would have replaced him by now.
