Moore: Diamondbacks utility player Daniel Descalso deserves to be All-Star

Having been in first place in the NL West for most of the year, one could expect the Diamondbacks to have good All-Star Game representation.

But don't count on it based on fan voting.

Take Paul Goldschmidt, for example. His overall numbers hold up, and he’s been as hot as a Phoenix sidewalk lately.

He leads National League first basemen with 17 homers entering Tuesday. He’s hitting .419 (31 for 74) with a .506 on-base and .892 slugging percentage in his past 18 games, and he’s got nine home runs and 21 RBIs in the span.
