18 Men who SHOULD Start the MLB All Star Game

.394 14 HRs and 44 RBI

This one the people have right. He gets this because of his name recognition but he is the only player deserving. He has been on fire since coming back from the early injury.

.331 16 HRs and 47 RBI

He will make the team, but because of the Red Sox and Yankees votes he will not be the starter. He hasn't been great this year but in my opinion still has been better than Texiera, Youkilis or Morneau.

.305 19 HRs and 56 RBI

It has been a great year for the Blue Jay sceond basemen and he will be on the team, but deserves to start over Kinsler and a slow Pedroia.

.364 7 HRs and 36 RBI

Derek Jeter has had an okay year, better than expected, but Bartlett will win the AL batting title this year. He is locked in like never before and will finish ahead of Ichiro for that crown.

.306 16 HRs and 63 RBI

Nowhere else to go here, after an inhuman April his numbers are the best at the hot corner. Scott Rolen has been very good, but even with his injury time out Longoria is the best at third.

.372 6 HRs and 37 runs scored

The voters and the Japanese fans get this right he is leading the league in hitting and is completely locked in.

.309 12 HRs and 44 RBI

I love Carl Crawford but as one scout saild last week "Adam Jones is the best all around outfielder already in the AL". He has been a little better than Crawford who has stockpiled singles, but also stocked up those steals.

.277 19 HRs and 69 RBI

The AL MVP today is in the starting lineup and should stay there. He has been great in Boston since last July. Remember when people said Xavier Nady was the better player when he went to the Yankees?

Unreal year for the Royal Righty.

10-3 1.95 ERA Five complete games 115.1 Innings 100 hits 114 ks

.316 8 HRs and 31 RBI

Talk about a weak position this year. I gave it to McCann over Molina because he has more RBI in 50 fewer at-bats. If only the Mets catcher production was from one guy he would be here.

.328 28 HRs and 74 RBI
I'm not a fan, but there is no debate. Adrian Gonzalez, Prince Fielder and Ryan Howard have all been good too though.

.303 5 HRs and 41 RBI

Tough call here. Hudson vs. Utley and even alittle Freddy Sanchez. I go with Hudson because he played great with Manny out and has been the leader on a young team, while Utley has been the third most clutch player in his clubhouse.

.330 6 HRs and 42 RBI

I love Hanley Ramirez but he backs up for the reborn Tejada on my team. Think about this for Hanley three grand slams, the rest of the season only 44 RBI.

.340 11 HRs and 38 RBI

Kills me to admit Sandoval is playing better than my boy Mr. No Homer David Wright. Dave backs up for the young Giant killer in St. Loo. He only has seven fewer hits than Dave does.

.329 12 HRs and 55 RBI

Amazin is an understatement for the season Hawpe is having. There is no way three outfielders should start over the blooming slugger from the mountains who is finally reaching his potential. I love watching Carlos Beltran but his injuries have slowed him to the point where Hawpe deserves it more.

.312 22 HRs and 59 RBI

Is he juicing? It wouldn't shock me but he has been great this year. A lot of cheap homers at home and at Yankee Stadium but he deserves it over Carlos as well.

.324 16 HRs and 53 RBI

Best young hitter in the game. Voters get this right and he should be in this game for the next decade, every year. He's top ten in the NL in hitting with that furious swing that is pretty good.

9-2 2.57 ERA Three complete games 101.2 Innings 84 hits 85 k's

Enough said isn't it?
