An annual tradition among baseball fans: Who was snubbed from the All Star Game?

Position Players

Name - Team/Pos - AVG/OBP/SLG - Home Runs

Chipper Jones
- Braves/3B - .333/.419/.596 - 13 home runs

Jones is second in the NL in OPS (after Barry Bonds) as a 3rd baseman which one would think would make him an easy choice for the all star team.

Mark Teixeira - Rangers/1B - .302/.405/.554 - 12 home runs

Ryan Howard - Phillies/1B - .253/.387/.555 - 19 home runs

Howard has had a disappointing season but he's still 9th in the NL in OPS.

Aramis Ramirez - Cubs/3B - .312/.358/.571 - 15 home runs

The second NL 3B to be on the list. You'd usually think a .312 average and a .571 slugging percentage would be enough to make the all star team especially in the infield.

Adam Dunn - Reds/LF - .263/.352/.561 - 23 home runs

He's second in the NL in home runs but he's hurt by his not so great average and OBP. He's also hurt by the fact that the Reds are awful and Ken Griffey Jr. is already on the team.

Gary Sheffield - Tigers/DH - .290/.401/.530 - 18 home runs

Being a DH probably doesn't help his cause especially considering the game is in an NL stadium this year.

Curtis Granderson - Tigers/CF - .289/.343/.563 - 11 home runs

Granderson has 15 triples.

Pitchers

Name - Team - W-L, ERA

Chris Young - Padres - 8-3, 2.14

3rd in the NL in ERA.

John Maine - Mets - 9-4, 2.74

4th in the NL in ERA.

Jeremy Guthrie - Orioles - 4-2, 2.63

2nd in the AL in ERA.
