Give us your All-Star roster

[HollywoodLeo]

I would bet if everyone here picked a line-up card for both leagues, there would be a BUNCH of "snubs" in all of those, too.

Let's see how many snubs we can find.

[Kingdom]

So you want us to pick 35 players on each side?

[HollywoodLeo]

I suppose we can go about this two ways. Who would you pick to supplement the fan vote? or who is in the entire roster?

I'd go with the latter because it's easier and addresses Toby's claim more directly.

[Kingdom]

Good point. I think I'd rather make up a roster OOTP style. 25 man team, neglecting the each team gets a representative. Of course, that defeats the purpose. Hmm.

[HollywoodLeo]

I more had in mind focusing on the rules of the real game, with the exception of not having to rely on fan votes for the starters.

In other words, every team needs a rep.

[Kingdom]

I know. 70 people requires an act of non-laziness though.

[HollywoodLeo]

I know. 70 people requires an act of non-laziness though.

True. And it's probably the reason I won't create a roster myself.

All well, this isn't the first useless thread I've ever posted on the internet and it certainly won't be the last.

[Kingdom]

It does happen.

[Tobywan]

Guess I touched a nerve.

[Kingdom]

He's got a sensitive side that people just don't understand.

[HollywoodLeo]

Guess I touched a nerve.

How do you gather?

Can you read people's feelings just by reading pixels on a computer screen?

NL All Star reserves and pitchers:

C Brian McCann
1b Joey Votto
1b Adrian Gonzalez
2b Brandon Phillips
2b Martin Prado (replaces injured starter Utley)
3b Scott Rolen
3b Ryan Zimmerman
ss Rafael Furcal (replaces injured would-be reserve Tulowitzki)
LF Matt Holliday
LF Adam Dunn
CF Marlon Byrd
CF Chris Young
RF Corey Hart

Adam Wainwright
Roy Oswalt (replaces Bourn as lone HOU rep)
Yovani Gallardo

Evan Meek

Snubs that I thought barely missed the cut: Geovany Soto, Colby Rasmus and Josh Willingham (but Holliday and Dunn are representing in their places, so whatever) Jaime Garcia (need more IP's, I guess), and Chris Carpenter.

[Kingdom]

Who's the back up for McCann?

I would probably have a similar roster to Mofo (there's bound to be another catcher worth adding?), but I'll post mine later on.

[Kingdom]

Jeese.

NL: McCann, Miguel Olivo, Pudge, Soto..... yikes, Miguel Montero looks better than most options but he doesn't have the at bats.

AL: Mauer, Buck, John Jaso, Kurt Suzuki, Mike Napoli.... what the Hell happened to this position?

[realmofotalk]

Is a third catcher necessary? I suppose Geovany Soto could take Marlon Byrd's spot. So, there.
