I'll update this as it goes along (especially once voting results start being published), but this is my projection for the All Star Game rosters.
A few thoughts:
I need a Brave, Royal, and Twin -- their rosters are all pretty bad, but their lone representatives deserve to be there as far as name recognition (Minnesota) or a reliever having a lights-out year (Atlanta, KC).
There are a few high-WAR guys that I didn't include because their number was high as a result of defensive play -- that's all fine and good for real games, but no one gets put in the ASG as a result of defensive play alone outside of superstars.
This is by no means a final guess, and once the voting results are published for the first time, a lot of things are going to shift around.
