Frequently Asked Questions
Where is the 2018 MLB All-Star Game being held?
The 2018 MLB All-Star Game takes place on July 17th at Nationals Park in Washington D.C.
When was the last time the White Sox sent more than two players to the All-Star Game?
The last time the White Sox sent more than two players to the All-Star Game was in 2014, when Jose Abreu, Alexei Ramirez, and Chris Sale all represented the South Side.
Was Avisail Garcia an All-Star before 2018?
Yes, Avisail Garcia was the White Sox lone All-Star in 2017, finishing the season hitting .330, which was second in the American League behind MVP Jose Altuve.
Why is Welington Castillo a realistic All-Star pick for the White Sox in 2018?
Castillo hit 20 home runs and drove in 53 runs in only 96 games in 2017, and the American League catcher pool is thin after Gary Sanchez, especially with Salvador Perez starting 2018 on the shelf due to a knee injury. Playing at hitter-friendly Guaranteed Rate Field should also boost his numbers.
Why isn't Tim Anderson included in the White Sox All-Star predictions?
Despite his talent, the American League shortstop position is too deep with Francisco Lindor, Carlos Correa, and Manny Machado back at his natural position, making it tough for Anderson to crack the roster in 2018.
