Look about right? This is as if the game was played today.

Swap DeJesus for Ichiro and that'd be right.

[Zack Attack Troll]

Ichiro

AVG .291 | HR 2 | RBI 12 | OBP .337 | SLG .442

DeJesus

AVG .315 | HR 4 | RBI 9 | OBP .387 | SLG .486

[seaver41]

You honestly think those stats for are going to stay the same?

[Zack Attack Troll]

Read my whole thread man...

I'd still take Ichiro b/c of speed. Also the ASG is at San Francisco so there's no DH (thank god).

[Fish Troll]

Lots of big names made it to your list. Look like 30 games is plenty enough to get a good idea.

[Star Man]

If the game was played today, can't argue with any of those names there, except maybe I'd swap Jeter and Tejada. It would be close. Here's mine for the NL:

C Russel Martin, Brian McCann, Bengie Molina
1B Derrek Lee, Todd Helton, Mike Jacobs
2B Kelly Johnson, Chase Utley, Orlando Hudson
SS Jose Reyes, Jimmy Rollins, Hanley Ramirez
3B Miguel Cabrera, Aramis Ramirez, Chad Tracy
OF Barry Bonds, Aaron Rowand, Matt Holiday, Carlos Beltran, Andrew Jones, Shawn Green
P Tim Hudson, Jake Peavy, Matt Cain, John Maine, Brad Penny, Rich Hill, Jason Marquis, Ian Snell, Doug Davis

Bullpen: Joe Smith, Francisco Cordero, Heath Bell, Jonathan Broxton

[seaver41]

Orlando Hudson should be the starter. He's batting over 300 and is a gold glover.

Also I'd have Maine start because he's nearly unhittable early in the game. Looking at that NL roster, they have a very good chance of winning.

Another reason fan voting sucks.

Its bad enough the broadcaster board is a NY suckfest, but it doesnt have to be a dam*ned subway series.

Chris Duncan hitting .315, with 5 HR and 10 RBI with a OBP over .350. He's in there over Shawn Green IMO. Especially since an All-Star team has a player from each team.

[cdubble]

even though pujols doesnt deserve it right now, u know the fans will vote him in as a reserve at least

That team looks like the perfect AL all-star team to me.

Beltran is a better player than Rowand.
