Agreed. I think he deserves it but Kemp should have gotten the nod to fill in.

Wow I wonder if an entire outfield has ever gone to an all star game? So biased I love it!

Glad Charlie did this...This will make the whole team happy; nevermind what all the other NL teams think...were not supposed to like them anyway.

Kemp's power numbers are not even close to werth... he deserves to go more than Victorino... but i'm glad they are all in!! I love it!! the '95 Indians has their whole OF elected... once again the haters on these boards look silly... many claimed Werth is not an everyday player... haha... no he's not, he's an all star!!

I really dont think it was all Charlie's choice. Jayson was above Manny with votes and since Shane got in and Beltran was out, the next vote getter would be put in and that's Jayson.

Werth has more HR, RBI, runs and plays better defense than Kemp. Werth also has a RING. Torre loaded his players on the all star team after the 2001 Yankees World series loss. Same thing here, nice call Charlie! When was the last time the Phils had 5 All-stars?
