Can't help but feel that re-upping Vladdy had a huge impact on the team from top to bottom.
The last couple years have been really rough and just a steady sinking feeling into despair. But something was different from the first crack of the bat this spring.
Vlad probably doesnt deserve to start the ASG ( Arranda snubbed) but should be there.
Kirk would be the starter in any normal year but since Cal Dump Rump Raleigh is an MVP candidate he gets the start there.
I can squint and see a world where we get a 3rd guy, and i think it would have to be Springer, even though Clement probably deserves a longer look then he will get.
