Neil Walker on pace to be one of a few possible all stars for the Pirates this year.



I was looking through the ESPN fantasy player rankings and noticed something amiss. Neil Walker doesn't even make the top 200 players. McCutchen was 32 and Tabata was 160 something (somewhere near the bottom of the 200).  While McCuthcen deserves to be up there based on talent alone, and I do believe he will be an all-star as well as possibly Hanrahan, doesn't Walker deserve a bit more consideration as one of the best overall 2b in baseball right now. If you look at the numbers alone only Ben Zobrist, Robinson Cano, Orlando Cabrera, and Brandon Phillips, are playing at the same level. I know he may have some defensive short comings, but of the 4 above listed only 1 is in the NL. So if you were to name infield all stars for the NL would Walker be on your list? And, who else on this years Pirates do you feel deserves the nod of all-star?
