deGrom obviously. If he's healthy, he's starting. Taijuan Walker and Marcus Stroman have been fantastic and worthy, but I can't see all 3 of those guys getting the nod. Stroman has a bit more fanfare than does Walker so between those 2, I'd say Stroman gets in, even though Walker has been a tick better overall.

Nobody on offense deserves to be there.

DeGrom is a lock, Stroman should definitely be there, not sure about Walker. Very hard to get 3 starters from the same staff in an All-Star game.

Mets have been in first place for most of the season, you'd think someone from that lineup is an all-star, but maybe not.

Walker has better overall numbers but Stroman is a more well-known commodity. Both have been great, but I agree that you won't see 3 guys from that staff on the ASG.

Their lineup has been so devastated with injuries, but they have been winning on the strength of their pitching staff (which has been brilliant top to almost bottom, with David Peterson and Joey Lucchesi being inconsistent, at best), and their defense which has been unreal. For all of Lindor's struggles at the plate, he has been the best defensive shortstop the Mets have had since Rey Ordonez.

Jonathan Villar has been starting in place of JD Davis and he is a vastly superior defender. James McCann has been awesome behind the plate, and the supersubs in the outfield have all been solid. It will be interesting when guys McNeil, Conforto and Davis return because they all provide much more offense, but none of them are great defensively. We'll see.
