[Hebrews 11:6]

Perhaps you'd like to vouch for my selections or advance your own.

[dfwgator]

DH - Michael Young - Texas

[randomhero97]

C - Brian McCann - Atlanta

[be-baw]

I don't even recognize most of those names, except Cabrera, Granderson, Peralta and Berkman.

Where is Pujols?

What about pitchers? I like Verlander and Scherzer.

[randomhero97]

SP - Jair Jurrjens - Atlanta
LF - Martin Prado - Atlanta

Catching should not just be an offensive category. It is about managing a pitching staff, calling a game, and picking off would-be stealers.

The best catcher in the game is Yadier Molina - STL. Hands down.

[GRRRRR]

SS- Starlin Castro, Cubs
.344 OBP
.425 SLG
.318 AVG

Had some errors this year but as the youngest player in MLB he’s gonna grow into the game...

[cripplecreek]

Victor Martinez is a very passable catcher, + he can hit.

[strider44]

Adrian Gonzalez of the Red Sox is hitting .329 and leads the league in RBIs at 45 and he doesn’t make you team? Uh huh.

[Softballmom]

One minor correction. Jose Reyes is a NYM not a NYY.

[AGreatPer]

P KRVIN CORREIA 7-4, for the Pirates.

I selected based only on this year's performance

That's not a good way to do it. This year's performance should be a factor, certainly, but 50+ games is not a big enough sample size. A true All-Star is someone who has done it in the past and is doing it again this year.

NL
C Molina (McCann)
1b Votto (Fielder)
2b Phillips (Weeks)
SS Reyes (Tulowitzki)
3b Polanco (Jones)
OF Holliday (Bruce)
OF Braun (Kemp)
OF Berkman (Ethier)

AL
C Martin (Avila)
1b Gonzalez (Cabrera)
2b Cano (Kendrick)
SS Cabrera (Peralta)
3b Rodriguez (Youkilis)
OF Bautista (Ellsbury)
OF Granderson (Quentin)
OF Joyce (Span)

But it's still early. I never vote for All-Stars until close to the deadline, which is a month away.

[Charles Henrickson]

I can't agree with Ianetta or Roberts in the NL. They haven't ever done much in the past. Neither should be starting in an All-Star game. Molina and McCann are clearly better than Ianetta. Polanco is better than Roberts, and Jones I pick as backup, mostly because it's a down year for 3b in the league (Zimmerman out, Wright struggling).

In the AL, Gonzalez overall is the best, at the plate and in the field (Cabrera is a butcher, defensively). Kendrick was having a good year, but he's on the DL, and Cano was superb last year and is good this year. Gordon, no, hasn't done much before, and is "OK" this year. Joyce hasn't done much before, either, but is *sizzling* this year.

For AL DH, I would pick Ortiz. Young might make my team as a DH/Utility.

It's a down year at a number of positions this year--slumps and injuries affecting a number of perennial stars.

No way Miguel Cabrera over Adrian Gonzalez at first base. Not even a competition.
