Because All-Star Game Voting is absolutely terrible (Yadier Molina?) and the coaches votes aren't helping (Alex Rodriguez?) I thought that WE should pick the all-stars. So, I'm going to make this board so we can decide who really deserved it. (Of course, when Cards fans brag about how Yadier Molina was an All-Star, you can say, "Sure, but was he a MLBPPWorld All-Star? I didn't think so!")

So, tell me who should be an All-Star, and I'll write a big list here.

2B: Robinson Cano

3B - Evan Longoria
SS - Derek Jeter
OF - Torii Hunter

OF - Andre Ethier

I think Ubaldo Jimenez should definitely be on the team, as well as Roy Halladay. Agree?

Should have Starusburg as well.

Strasburg is going to be...a debate unto himself. It really will come down to how many empty spaces we have after all the locks are in.

I started the list with Halladay and Jimenez. I also added MVP candidate Robinson Cano. Tell me what you think.

Strasburg, in my opinion, is a rising star. Too early to call him an All-Star just yet.

I think we should put Adrian Beltre on the list, with Longoria as a backup.

Ahh, I see. Good point.


Good idea, I'll do that.

I nominate Andre Ethier. It seems like almost everyone on the forums picked him.

I'm going to nominate Josh Johnson, Miguel Cabrera, Andy Pettitte, Phil Hughes, and Adam Wainwright.

I'd like to nominate Joey Votto, Heath Bell, and Marlon Byrd.
Also, are we going to need at least 1 from each team and what's the max # of players on each team?

We won't need one from each team. Some teams are just more deserving than others.

We're gonna have 34 players, just like in real life.

Votto and Bell, I agree. I'm really not so sure about Byrd though…yet.
