    AL Player Ballot pitchers include starting pitchers David Price of the Rays, Clay Buchholz and Jon Lester of the Red Sox, Phil Hughes of the Yankees and Cliff Lee of the Mariners, along with relievers Neftali Feliz of the Rangers, Mariano Rivera of the Yankees and Jose Valverde of the Tigers.

    AL Player Ballot position players include Cabrera, second baseman Dustin Pedroia, catcher Victor Martinez and DH David Ortiz of the Red Sox, shortstop Elvis Andrus of the Rangers, and outfielders Vernon Wells and Jose Bautista of the Blue Jays and Torii Hunter of the Angels.

    Pedroia and Martinez receive full honors as elected All-Stars, but because they are both injured and unavailable, they are replaced on the roster by second baseman Ian Kinsler of the Rangers and catcher John Buck of the Blue Jays, respectively. Both of them finished second on the Player Ballot at their respective positions.

    Girardi, in conjunction with MLB, filled out the AL roster with the following: second baseman Ty Wigginton of the Orioles and third baseman Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees, along with pitchers Matt Thornton of the White Sox, Fausto Carmona of the Indians, Joakim Soria of the Royals, Trevor Cahill of the Athletics and CC Sabathia of the Yankees.

    NL Player Ballot position players include catcher Brian McCann of the Braves, first baseman Adrian Gonzalez of the Padres, shortstops Troy Tulowitzki of the Rockies, third baseman Scott Rolen of the Reds, Prado, and outfielders Corey Hart of the Brewers, Matt Holliday of the Cardinals and Marlon Byrd of the Cubs. Because Tulowitzki is on the DL and unavailable, he is replaced by Reyes, who was the next choice on the Player Ballot behind him.

    NL Player Ballot pitchers include starting pitchers Ubaldo Jimenez of the Rockies, Roy Halladay of the Phillies, Josh Johnson of the Marlins, Tim Lincecum of the Giants and Adam Wainwright of the Cardinals, along with relievers Matt Capps of the Nationals, Brian Wilson of the Giants and Jonathan Broxton of the Dodgers.

    From there, Manuel, in conjunction with MLB, filled out his roster with the following: first baseman Ryan Howard of the Phillies, second baseman Brandon Phillips of the Reds (replacing Utley), infielder/outfielder Omar Infante of the Braves, outfielders Michael Bourn of the Astros and Chris Young of the Padres*, and pitchers Chris Carpenter of the Cardinals, Yovani Gallardo of the Brewers, Tim Hudson of the Braves, Evan Meek of the Pirates and Arthur Rhodes of the Reds.

        It's always fun to see these threads when you follow a bad team, and just know that you'll have to scan the small print to find your representative.

        And alas, Trevor Cahill!

                      always debates on all-star rosters, but people have to understand the limitations...


                      the fans vote on the starters....so right there you are gonna get things screwed up as fans are sentimental, aren't very sharp, and vote for the same players every year no matter how old and bad they are... hence you get your 40 year old cal ripken starters...


                      secondly, you can't just pick the 15 best hitters and put them on the team..... certain positions (life rf, 3b, and 1b) are gonna have most of the best hitters.... but you still need to fill all the roster spots....

                      thirdly, MLB is handcuffed by the rule saying you have to have a representative from EVERY team.... its silly.... and it cuts down even more on the deserving players that should get to go.

                      4th...players aren't just selected on how they are doing from april-july of the current year, fans and managers rightly or wrongly are taking into consideration the previous july-september time range...

                      very inexact science, feelings get hurt blah blah.... but I can never understand some of the outrage associated with this silly exhibition.... even if it "means somthing now"

                        I understand Archie, thats exactly what it should be and always stayed was exhibition. the fact that winner gets home field in the world series is ridiculous. Even though "This time it counts" the managers play it the same way as limiting how many innings everyone gets in fear of a player getting injured. The outrage of say Mariano getting hurt etc would be crazy.

                        The whole rule is silly. If a team doesnt have a player that deserves to be at the all star game, dont send em! There is no crying in baseball. Every year we go thru snubs etc and it seems lately its always one of the back ups that come through with the game winning hit

                            Mat Latos really deserved a pitching spot. 9 wins, 91 k in 99 ip, 2.62 era and a .96 whip...better yet no padre pitcher made it when they have best ERA in league.

                              Interesting decision by Manuel, but obviously he knows first hand how good of a bench player Omar truly is. That being said, he is a bench play after all...

                                  Wags has my vote for the NL. Slightly biased you could say, but besides the solo shot he gave up the other night, he's been auto-fuking-matic.
