The 2015 MLB All-Star Game is being held at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati on July 14th of this year. The game is an exhibition of the game’s best talent (and worst rules), while much of the controversy gets pointed toward who does and doesn’t get chosen to play. I know this is a little early, as the voting closes on July 2nd, but I filled out a ballot for the game based on the first four months of this year. There will probably be more than one of these, so expect the ballot to change. Here goes:
AL
1B: Miguel Cabrera, Tigers
2B: Jose Altuve, Astros
SS: Jed Lowrie, Astros
3B: Josh Donaldson, Blue Jays
C: Salvador Perez, Royals
DH: Nelson Cruz, Mariners
Outfielders: Mike Trout, Angels; Adam Jones, Orioles; Hanley Ramirez, Red Sox
NL
1B: Adrian Gonzalez, Dodgers
2B: Dee Gordon, Marlins
SS: Zack Cozart, Reds
3B: Matt Carpenter, Cardinals
C: Buster Posey, Giants
Outfielders: Giancarlo Stanton, Marlins; Matt Kemp, Padres; Justin Upton, Padres
