The MLB All-Star starters and backups have been announced.

Alex Rodriguez, David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez are not in the AL lineup. Missing from the NL is Chipper Jones, Jimmie Rollins and Chris Carpenter.

10 first-time all-stars will make up almost a third of the AL roster.

Don't forget, fans still get to vote in 1 last player for each roster, out of a list of 5 possible. The game will be in St. Louis this year on July 14th. Enjoy.

I'm eternally pissed that Manny didn't make it. I call voting fraud.

Nice to see Ryan Franklin get some recognition on the National League side.  20/21 saves, ERA of 0.84 in a role that coming out of spring training was up for grabs for the Cardinals.  I would also guess that the NL is going to have to make a couple of more decisions with there outfield.  I dont think Beltran or Ibanez are going to play in the game and both are listed as starters.  I wouldnt be surprised if Sandoval wins the internet vote and Kemp and Victorino are added as replacements.

I think it's neat that Wakefield is going...he may or may not deserve to be there, but it's cool that a knuckler is on the All-Star team.

It looks like the players selected quite a few pitchers and then Maddon selected Youkilis over Cabrera...which honestly, I can't argue with too much.

I couldn't believe Josh Hamilton made it into the AL starting roster when he hasn't it played half of season before the all-star break.  Last I knew, he wasn't off of the DL.

 I hope he would put him the whole game and try to get him hurt. I give that two thumbs up.

 I am just glad to see that some deserving players are making the roster, instead of this being a total popularity contest.

Thanks for the love Mark.! Cabrerra should be there, but fans can still vote Brandon Inge into the game...the MLB Final Vote.!

Poor post...you should never hope for an injury of a player...ever. Sportsmanship should always be first and foremost.
Be a fan, root for your team, and your players...but so it a a good sport.

I would LIKE to see Chipper in, and maybe with all the injuries, he will be. But I doubt it.

I hated Bonds, but for all the people who gave him crap for years, now rooting for Manny. Really? REALLY?

It makes sense that Manny isn't on A.L. roster considering he plays for the Dodgers.  I can't complain too much about the teams, A-Rod didn't deserve to be on it.

Dodger fans are two faced.... it's Ok for their team to cheat, but anyone else, oh no....

Yeah, and Ian Kinsler didn't make it. Bizarre. Oh well, it is the fans game. No accounting for taste, sometimes.

Well, for once there isn't too much on the rosters to crap on.  A rarity for an all-star game.

The only one I have a major problem with is Josh Hamilton.  Personally I still think he's vastly overrated, but with that aside there is no excuse for putting in a guy who hasn't played most of the season.  It's the outfield... you can find a hundred guys who deserve to be there more than he does (even throwing in a DH like Lind, for example).  The guy even admitted he doesn't deserve to be there.

At least the fans were smart enough for once to not vote in Man-"bonehead"-Ram and A-Fraud.

How about that vote for the final 2 spots?  The AL in particular, all 5 virtually on the level.  I'm guessing Kinsler (how did Pedroia get the start?  Because he plays for the RED SOX) and Sandoval.
