Sudden All-Star Game.....

[TSiegel]

I was thinking that it might bring some good feedback, if I were to ask.....how would you pick the All-Star team of your choice (National League or American), if the first half of the season were to end right now, this instant?

If you were given a roster of only 6 pitchers (two starters, to relief, and two stoppers), 2 Catchers, 6 outfielders (3 to start, and 3 for relief), and 8 infielders (one for each position in the infield), as well as a staff of a Manager, and Pitching Coach (in the event the manager somehow gets ejected), who would you select?

22 Players, a manager and a Coach.

Go!
