AL All-Star Report: Disappointments Abound At 1st Base

And if you’re a fan of a team with any of the seven underperforming first baseman—half the league—you might be choosing stronger terminology. Because while Paul Konerko for Chicago has been magnificent, Prince Fielder from Detroit has been solid and there’ve been something other nice stories, both comeback and emerging the overall theme at this spot is one of Disappointment.
