The 5 players representing Peoria are:

 

1B Ryan Norwood

LHP Ed Campusano

RHP Mitch Atkins

RHP Matt Avery

RHP Jeff Teasley

 

It looks like the snubs for the Chiefs are LHP Donnie Veal and C Mark Reed. Three relievers from one team in the all-star game seems overkill, but I'm not going to complain since they're Chiefs. There is also a chance that Peoria's coaching staff will coach at the game, even if they don't win the first half title. The game will be on June 20th.

I don't like snubbings.

 

But congrats to those who made it.

Reed and Valdez were snubbed. Veal wasn't snubbed as he was not put on the ballot by Jody. You could only nominate 4 pitchers and were are the only MWL team to have 4 pitchers on the ballot. Johnston was also on the ballot and didnt make it.

Why in the world would you put Teasley on a ballot over Veal?

[ChiefsVoice]

The nominees were due May 9th. On that day, Teasley was 1-0 with a 2.23 ERA and 16 K in 14.1 innings while Veal was 2-2 with a 3.31 ERA and was coming out aof a stretch of three starts where he didnt get past five innings. Veal also had 26 walks in 35.1 innings at the time.

 

 

Do i think Donnie is an all-star pitcher in the MWL? Absolutely but its tough to put a stuggling starter at 2-2 on the ballot in early May...

Ahh, I see why Veal isn't there. He definitely deserves to be there, though.

 

And it's always odd to see 3 relievers in the all-star game from one team.
