I dropped the ball on California - Carolina League All-Star game, where Buster Posey, Thomas Neal, and Roger Kieschnick played for the Cal League. So I am going to make sure that I cover the AA and AAA All-Star games on July 15.
In the Eastern League All-Star game, four former SJ Giants will be playing. Pitchers Madison Bumgarner (2009) and Joe Paterson (2008) will join 2nd baseman Brock Bond (2008) and... outfielder Eddie Martinez-Esteve (2005) on the Northern Division roster.
The Pacific Coast League - International League All-Star game will feature two formers SJ Giants. Outfielder John Bowker (2006) and pitcher Kevin Pucetas (2008) are on the PLC squad.
Congrats to all the current and former SJ Giant All-Starts.
