With the 2013 MLB All-Star Game rosters finally revealed, some pitchers might be staring at the selections in disbelief. 

The MLB tweeted both rosters' pitchers:

The 2013 MLB All-Star Game rosters have been announced, and on paper, it's clear which team has the advantage. Home-field advantage in this year's World Series is on the line, and the National League will earn that honor.

The 2013 MLB All-Star Game rosters have been announced, with the game set to be played on July 16 at Citi Field in New York.

There will no doubt be some tinkering with the rosters in the days ahead, as starting pitchers may need to be replaced depending on when their final first-half start will be and injuries could force players out of action in the Midsummer Classic.

As it stands, there will be at least one more player joining each roster, with the finalists for the Final Vote roster spot announced.

The roster announcement for the Major League Baseball All-Star Game serves two purposes. It gives us our first chance to look at what we can expect in the Midsummer Classic—and it leaves plenty of room for debate and uproar.

No All-Star roster is going to be perfect for everyone, because we all have different tastes. We want to see the best players on our favorite team get rewarded for a strong first half, though I maintain that is a horrible way to pick an All-Star.

The 2013 MLB All-Star roster was revealed on Saturday night, and the Midsummer Classic in New York's Citi Field promises to be yet another tremendous showcase of premier professional baseball talent.

Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis leads all of baseball with 33 home runs and has already driven in 85 runs. Thus, it's no surprise that he's the leading vote-getter overall.

According to a release by the official MLB Twitter, Los Angeles Dodgers rookie sensation Yasiel Puig has been omitted from the 2013 National League All-Star team.

The 2013 Major League Baseball All-Star Game rosters were announced Saturday night, and there are a handful of studs who will stand out on the big stage.

With the stakes high as the winner gets home-field advantage in the 2013 World Series, these world-class players will be giving it their all during the July 16 event despite all of the fanfare and entertainment. 

The 2013 MLB All-Star rosters have been announced and that means it's time to judge the selections. Obviously there are plenty of players who deserve the honor, but some names deserve it more than others. Here are the best and worst selections to this year's all-star game.

Best Choices

Chris Davis

Contrary to popular opinion, the fan-voting portion of filling out MLB All-Star rosters isn't the only part of the process that falls victim to popularity contests and the numbers a player has put up in the past.

Sometimes, even those players selected by their peers and each All-Star team's respective manager raise an eyebrow or two.

It happens each and every year, and 2013 is no different, though I must admit that there are very few selections I'd consider to be egregious errors.

The question of whether or not Yasiel Puig will be in the All-Star Game was finally answered on Saturday—no.

OK, maybe it's premature to say that Puig won't play in the Midsummer Classic, but he needs your help. He was named to the Final Vote for the NL reserves, and it's up to the fans to decide if he makes it or not.
