Rockies Journal: Ezequiel Tovar, Ryan McMahon deserve to be in All-Star Game

For a major league player, landing a spot in the All-Star Game is about talent, statistics, popularity, reputation, name recognition and the team you play on. For the Rockies, who are on pace to lose more than 100 games for the second consecutive season, only the first two aforementioned criteria (talent and statistics) will come into play this season. Truth be told, the Rockies will likely have just one required representative at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, on July 15. ESPN senior baseball writer David Schoenfield predicts that third baseman Ryan McMahon will be Colorado's lone representative.
