Rob Neyer gives us his ‘Hidden All-Stars’ “Reds: Arthur Rhodes. Yes, another reliever. So sue us. If Tim Wakefield can get an All-Star nod (last year) for being an effective 42-year-old knuckleballer, why can’t Rhodes get some love as a 40-year-old lights-out reliever with a 0.28 ERA. I’m not usually a big fan of Lifetime Achievement Awards, but he’s got a 1.79 ERA over these past three seasons, and what’s wrong with having somebody in the bullpen to face those tough American League lefties like Justin Morneau, Robinson Cano or Josh Hamilton.” [ESPN SweetSpot]
