MLB Team of the Week: Anthony Rizzo, Mark Trumbo and Madison Bumgarner Star

There was some debate at Bleacher Report's MLB Team of the Week headquarters about whether to include All-Star Game stats.

After all, with home-field advantage in the World Series on the line, it's more than a meaningless exhibition.

Following some careful deliberation, however, our highly democratic committee of one decreed that only games played July 8-10 would factor in. That makes an already small sample even smaller, but there you have it. Take it up with the committee.

Otherwise, the rules are the same: 10 players, including a designated hitter and starting pitcher, who busted box scores during the aforementioned time frame.

To qualify, a player needs to have made at least two starts at the position in question or one start in the case of pitchers. And while this is mostly about individual output, we award bonus points for gaudy numbers that translated to notches in the win column.

Limber up your commenting muscles and dig in when ready.
