Mac's All Star Teams

Like everyone else in Bloggerville, I've got my own thoughts on the MLB All-Star teams that were unveiled last night. Click here for the rosters.

Here's who I would've picked.

Mac's AL All-Stars

C - Joe Mauer, Minnesota
1B - David Ortiz, Boston
2B - Mark Loretta, Boston
3B - Alex Rodriguez, New York
SS - Derek Jeter, New York
OF - Manny Ramirez, Boston
OF - Vernon Wells, Toronto
OF - Ichiro Suzuki, Seattle

Reserves

C - Ivan Rodriguez, Detroit
1B - Paul Konerko, Chicago
2B - Jose Lopez, Seattle
3B - Troy Glaus, Toronto
SS - Miguel Tejada, Baltimore
SS - Michael Young, Texas
OF - Vladimir Guerrero, LAA
OF - Grady Sizemore, Cleveland
OF - Carl Crawford, Tampa Bay
OF - Jermaine Dye, Chicago

SP - Francisco Liriano, Minnesota
SP - Johan Santana, Minnesota
SP - Roy Halladay, Toronto
SP - Barry Zito, Oakland
SP - Curt Schilling, Boston
SP - Kenny Rogers, Detroit
SP - Scott Kazmir, Tampa Bay
SP - Mike Mussina, New York
RP - Jonathan Papelbon, Boston
RP - Bobby Jenks, Chicago
RP - Mariano Rivera, New York
RP - BJ Ryan, Toronto

No Kansas City Royals on there, I know. I think that's an antiquated idea, so I'm not abiding by it.

Mac's NL All-Stars

C - Paul Lo Duca, New York
1B - Albert Pujols, St. Louis
2B - Chase Utley, Philadelphia
3B - David Wright, New York
SS - Jose Reyes, New York
OF - Jason Bay, Pittsburgh
OF - Carlos Beltran, New York
OF - Matt Holliday, Colorado

C - Michael Barrett, Chicago
1B - Ryan Howard, Philadelphia
1B - Lance Berkman, Houston
1B - Nomar Garciaparra, Los Angeles
2B - Dan Uggla, Florida
3B - Freddy Sanchez, Pittsburgh
3B - Miguel Cabrera, Florida
SS - Edgar Rentera, Atlanta
OF - Carlos Lee, Milwaukee
OF - Alfonso Soriano, Washington
OF - Andruw Jones, Atlanta

SP - Brandon Webb, Arizona
SP - Bronson Arroyo, Cincinnati
SP - Pedro Martinez, New York
SP - Jason Schmidt, San Francisco
SP - Chris Carpenter, St. Louis
SP - Carlos Zambrano, Chicago
SP - Brad Penny, Los Angeles
RP - Trevor Hoffman, San Diego
RP - Tom Gordon, Philadelphia
RP - Brian Fuentes, Colorado
RP - Derrick Turnbow, Milwaukee

With all the (deserved) furor sorrounding the omission of guys like Travis Hafner, Francisco Liriano, etc..., injuries will no doubt allow a few of the players, currently on the outside, into the festivities.
