Picking the 1998 NL All-Stars was a rougher assignment than picking the AL All-Stars. There was no real All-Star talent on three different teams, which meant I had to replace genuine All-Stars with marginals in order to follow the rules set down by MLB and pick at least one player from each team.

Batting Average is Still the Best
One of the most basic, informative, and useful of all baseball statistics is a player’s batting average. For almost a century, batting average was the primary statistic used to measure a hitter’s ability but for some “experts,” that is no longer true. Batting average is sneered at by most “sabermetricians” because it is too simple and easy to comprehend.
