Who Should Be the NL All Star Starting Pitcher?

[RWhitney014]

I posed this question in another thread, but this will get it some more exposure.

For anyone who's interested: anyone who thinks a particular pitcher should start for the National League other than Willis, let me know on this particular thread. We can all collaborate on a commentary article, making the cases for each individual guy. The candidates are probably going to be Willis, Clemens, Chris Carpenter, and Livan Hernandez, but anyone else who has an opinion on someone in the game or not (Matt Morris, anyone) is welcome to chime in. If you want to take part, say so.

Please don't comment on this thread. I'm hoping this will get some interest, but whoever's first on each particular pitcher gets dibs. Please wait until I give you the go-ahead before you write your piece. The specifics: 100 word limit per pitcher, one poster per pitcher, completed and PM'ed to me by Friday the 8th at 11:00 p.m. If anyone actually responds, this could be pretty interesting.

For those of you who want to be a writer for the site, it's not my choice but I guess this is kind of an open audition. Have fun with it.

Oh, and I call Dontrelle. :D

Clemens

Do you want to make a case for Clemens?

Willis should start, but for star power they may start Pedro or Clemens.

Would love for D-Train to start, but they are going to let Clemens start.

Do you want to make a case for Clemens?

ill try my best but i cannot guarantee anything

Willis should start and he can make a case for himself by winning again tomorrow

OK, Slappy, go for it...100 words on why Clemens should start by Friday night...anyone else want to jump in while you still can? Plenty of good names still out there.

P.Martinez has backed out of the all-star game to start for the Mets two days before the all-star game. thats one person out of Willis's way

Dontrelle or the Rocket....I just hope that Clemens doesnt get tagged like last year if he starts.

I wonder how many innings they will let the starter pitch? they usually do 3 but that was when it didn't matter who wo, now that it matters if the starter pitches well then he should pitch 5 innings
