    starting to think they're going to decide between Harris and Springer as our 2nd rep, and it's going to come down to another team's lone rep being an RP or an OF

    Springer isn't making it. Unfortunately. He wasn't even close with the votes. Correa actually has a better chance of making it.

    Votes don't matter for manager's decision.

    Odd not to see Harris on a single list on ESPN. I thought for sure he'd get a nod or two from some of the guys, he's been completely lights out.

    He's definitely in contention to make it as a reserve. He deserves it.

    Addison Russell is starting in the NL. Says all that needs to be said about the voting process.

    Yep. Highly deserved. Despite the lack of awareness of him by the talking heads.

    Yost is smarter than we give him credit for.

    Was a replacement for Davis already mentioned, or is that going to be another available spot?

    Very glad for Harris. Didn't think he had a chance with only 8 saves and little no no national recognition.

    WAR matters more than national recognition, especially when the manager picks the staff.

    Baseball people know what he's done the last couple of years, and like I said a month or so ago there's been a precedent set recently of taking great setup men.

    Yep... and the move to closer (with a perfect save conversion rate) likely sealed the deal.
