Jose Miranda is one of 11 players slashing at least .300/.350/.500 since April 8 and the he's the only one who didn't make the All-Star Game.
With one week before the MLB All-Star break, the Minnesota Twins own the seventh-best record in the majors and no team has been as electric offensively since April 22.
Minnesota was 7-13 through April 21. Since then, they have gone 44-26, good for the best record in the American League and the second-best mark in the majors behind only the Phillies .
Despite the success, Correa is the only Twins player on the American League roster for the All-Star Game. That could change with replacement players, but there are a few players on the team who have a very good case to say they were snubbed.Miranda is one of only 11 players in the majors with a .300+ batting average, .350+ on-base percentage and a .500+ slugging percentage since April 8, which is the day Miranda made his season debut. Miranda is the only one of the 11 who isn't an All-Star.
Making the All-Star team as a reliever is tough. Only four relief pitchers made the AL All-Star team and three of the four are very deserving. The four: Emmanuel Clase, Mason Miller, Kirby Yates and Clay Holmes. Holmes is far and away the least deserving based on his numbers, though he does have 19 saves on the season .
