LOS ANGELES — All-Star balloting starts Wednesday, and Mets fans need to step up this voting season. It’s on you fans to finally send to the All-Star Game chronically overlooked superstar Francisco Lindor — who’s statistically the best shortstop in the National League, and arguably the best player on the best team.
Facts count, but Lindor has to know at this point that he can’t count on player voting. For whatever reason, the players around the league apparently don’t get Lindor, one of the best power-speed-defense combos going.
Thanks mainly to fellow players, Lindor has taken the All-Star collar in Queens since he was shipped there by the Guardians, where he was an All-Star four straight years. He’s actually played slightly better as a Met, but the count is up to zero-for-four in All-Star appearances.
He won’t campaign, but friends say he’d love to be an All-Star again. And more to the point: He deserves it. Once again, he deserves it.
