The worst all-stars since 2002. (Statistically.) Via FiveThirtyEight:
And yet, Alcantara’s across-the-board mediocrity has earned him a spot on the National League All-Star team. One thing is certain: It’s probably not because of his numbers. Every MLB team needs an All-Star, and Alcantara got the call for the Marlins.
Alcantara’s dubious All-Star selection is nothing out of the ordinary for the Midsummer Classic. Every year, players find their way into the annual MLB showcase despite subpar statistics like Alcantara’s for multiple reasons: They are the best players on bad teams; the beneficiaries of overzealous fan voting; the winners of de facto lifetime achievement awards; and the players who look good from statistics of bygone eras.
With this in mind, we looked at some of the most curious All-Star selections in recent history from a statistical — both traditional and advanced — perspective. We also opted to take this one step further and isolate each All-Star’s numbersin order to get a true gauge of what the team managers and fan voters were looking at when they selected these non-star All-Stars.
