My AL All-Star team

I don't actually know how many players make the all-star team, so this is sort of made up. Also, it's weird that Ortiz is on the ballot for first base and Youkilis isn't and things like that. I made a good faith but totally half-assed effort to represent every team. The Royals, Rays, and Mariners are there so I'm probably OK.

It really fills me with pride to look at the stats for AL starters this year. Peeps is having some special seasons.
