Thoughts

-McCann could very well make it instead of Olivo. I kinda hope McCann beat out Yadier in the voting at the last second, cause Yadier should be nowhere near an All Star Team with a .230 BA.
-With Tulo injured, the NL SS situation is a mess. I'm pretty sure the rules stipulate that each team MUST have a backup, so Reyes kinda gets in by default.
-I was trying to decide on my last roster spot between guys like Manny, Glaus, and Dunn. In the end I went with Manny cause there are enough 1B and you figure it'd make sense to have an extra LA guy.
-I think Manuel will DH Howard in the starting lineup instead of Votto, but whatevs.
-I read an article on MLB.com about how players from the Cardinals were voting for Rhodes. I hope he makes it, the NL needs another lefty on the staff. Set-up guys get no respect.
-The NL pitching has been ridiculous this year. Much harder to decide on than AL.
-Poor Pelf would have no chance in hell in that Final Vote.
-Ubaldo should get the start. Shame all the NL starters are right-handed against a lefty-dominant AL lineup.

Thoughts

-That lineup is mad ridiculous.
-It may make more sense to bat Crawford 2nd, but there's no way Girardi is pushing Jeter to 9th.
-I nearly threw Kurt Suzuki in as the A's rep instead of Jorge as backup C so I could put Feliz on the team instead of Bailey.
-Torii Hunter has had a good year, but I mainly put him in because the game is in Anaheim. Gotta have somebody you know for sure will play for the hometown team (no idea if Weaver pitches the Sunday before or not).
-Cliff Lee should start assuming he's still in the AL by the time the game rolls around.
