Brian Fuentes? Jose Valverde? No Chris Young?

Who chose this pitching staff?!

For the most part, the players picked the NL pitching staff.

No Brandon Webb, either.

Ian Snell should have gotten picked for the Pirates instead of Sanchez. Sanchez is having a terrible year.

James Shields also got snubbed for a position player on his team.

Has Derrek Lee really been that much better than Ryan Howard this season?

1 and 3 - CYoung and Webb are both Final Vote-idates so begin the vote competition!

5 - Seriously, they couldn't fit Shields (or King Felix, for that matter) on the team but there is room for Kelvim Escobar and Okajima on the Final list? WTF??

Why Manny, who never shows up, instead of Curtis Granderson? Shouldn't logic prevail here?

6,7 Because you can never have enough Red Sox on an All-Star team.
