2009 MLB All-Star Game

Winning the All-Star Game recently became so unimportant, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig felt he had to do something.

Selig decided the league that wins the annual Summer Classic gets home field advantage in the World Series.

The All-Star Game is played purely to entertain.

However, there was a time when it was a baseball game that each league wanted to win just for the sake of winning.

Just making some early predictions for all-stars in the NL.

Remember, the rules call for each team to consist of 32 players, and at least one from each of the teams in the league.

C: Russell Martin, Dodgers; Best catcher in the league, arguably.

1B: Albert Pujols, Cards; MVP is a guarantee.

2B: Chase Utley, Phillies; The best second baseman in the league, unarguably.  The ols MVP will be yet again an All-Star.

3B: David Wright, Mets; Maybe one of the best players ever.

Who's going to be an all-star this year?

Just making some early All-Star predictions.

AL:

C:  Joe Mauer, Twins;  Best catcher in the AL, he'll make it. 

1B: Miguel Cabrera, Tigers; Barely better than Papi, but either might be used.

2B: Dustin Pedroia, Red Sucks;  Did I type Red Sucks?  Oops!  Best 2nd Baseman in the league.
