You're the defending World Series champions.
You're a half game out of first place in the Western Division as the all-star game nears.
The Giants will almost certainly have more than one or two players represent them.
But who?
It won't be Buster Posey or Freddy Sanchez.
I doubt the nod will go to Tim Lincecum. Maybe Matt Cain.
Here would be my choices.
Brian Wilson is a lock. He's 5-1 with 20 saves.
Ryan Volgelsong is the comeback player of the decade. He's 5-1 as a starter with a 1.86 earned run average.
Sergio Romo has become one of the games best setup men. He's 2-0 with 36 strikeouts in 23 innings.
And Ramon Ramirez has appeared in 29 games in middle relief. He's 2-0 with a 1.50 earned run average.
John Devine has been writing about high school sports in Monterey County since, well, practically since he was an athlete at King City in the days just after leather helmets. In PrepNation, John has even more in-depth analysis of the latest results and news he's brought to you in The Herald and in his weekly videos.

You said it.
Besides those players, nobody deserves to go. Had Sandoval not had the injury, he probably would have had the numbers to deserve a shot. But that doesn't matter.
I'll tell you one thing, the Giants have more important things to worry about than who will represent them in the All Star game. They are just one or two players away from being a great team again. This team has a way of feeding off of each other. As soon as someone steps it up, watch out.
