Here are my MLB All-Star Game picks

American League
1B - Carlos Delgado, Toronto Blue Jays
2B - Alfonso Soriano, New York Yankees
SS - Nomar Garciaparra, Boston Red Sox
3B - T. Batista, Baltimore Orioles
C - Jorge Posada, New York Yankees
OF - Torii Hunter, Minnesota Twins; Ichiro Suzuki, Seattle Mariners; Carlos Beltran, Kansas City Royals
DH - Ellis Burks, Cleveland Indians
(P.S. - I don't follow American League teams much, so I'm probably no more qualified to vote for any of the above than your average baseball fan.)

National League
1B - Todd Helton, Colorado Rockies
2B - Jeff Kent, Houston Astros (recently put on the DL)
SS - Edgar Renteria, St. Louis Cardinals (the best NL shortstop, offensively and defensively)
3B - Scott Rolen, St. Louis Cardinals (the best NL third baseman since Mike Schmidt)
C - Paul Lo Duca, Los Angeles Dodgers (underrated hitter; Javy Lopez of Atlanta is having a career year, however, and Lieberthal of the Phillies probably deserves to be on the the team too, as does Mike Matheny of the Cardinals)
OF - Albert Pujols, St. Louis Cardinals (I can't believe he isn't amont the top three; Sammy Sosa shouldn't even be in the running); Andruw Jones, Atlanta Braves (greatest center fielder in the game right now); Jim Edmonds, St. Louis Cardinals (second-greatest center fielder in the game right now). Honorable mention to Gary Sheffield of the Braves, and Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants.
