Bill Schroeder

[Shooty]

Wondering why he was picked to the the Brewers representative for the All Star team.  He wasn't even the starting catcher on the Brewers.  In his 5 year career (up to that point), the most games he played in a season was 75.

If they really wanted a Brewers catcher, why not go with their actual starting catcher, BJ Surhoff, who was also a first overall pick in 1985.  Surhoff had a great rookie campaign in 1987, hitting .299 in 445 PA and only striking out 30 times. 

I honestly find this one even weirder than Pedrique, since at least he served a team and positional need.

I would guess because of the only visible stats in the game, .332 + 14HRs is better than .299 + 7HRs

Plate appearances, strikeout %, even ABs don't have a bearing in RBI. 

When you just look at AVG and HRs, Schroeder is the better pick.

Can he be both an All Star and a bench player at the same time?  A real Schroed(ing)er's cat situation.

Maybe the game designer was related to or friends with Bill's family.

The Brewers got some solid production from the catcher's spot in 1987

[Gantry]

They really did, especially for the light hitting 80s
