Despite statistics that paint a significantly different picture, former Princeton basketball center and San Diego Padres starting pitcher Chris Young was not named to the 2007 National League All-Star team this evening.
Young is in the top three in the National League in nearly every important pitching statistic:
1st in Hits Per Nine Innings (6.42).
1st in Opponent Batting Average (.197).
2nd in Walks/Hits Per Innings Pitched (1.09).
2nd in Slugging (.280).
2nd in On-Base Against (.277).
3rd in ERA (2.14).
His numbers as a starting pitcher are stronger than those of All-Star selections Cole Hamels and John Smoltz. Compare them yourself, then shake your head.

The Seattle Post-Intelligencer has an enjoyable article about "other guy" Jeff Green out today.
"It got me to the point I'm at today and allowed me to work on every aspect of my game, dribbling, shooting, defense," said Green. "It'll be fun getting the shackles off, but I'll always look back and say the Princeton offense helped me out."
