I wanna know what everyone else thinks about the lineups for the '09 All-Star game. I'll list the chosen participants, along with who I think should've been the correct choice. Let me know what y'all think...

NL
1B: Albert Pujols; Albert Pujols 2B: Chase Utley; Chase Utley 3B: David Wright; Pablo Sandoval (who wasn't even voted in yet!) SS: Hanley Ramirez; him or Orlando Hudson OF: Raul Ibanez, Carlos Beltran, Ryan Braun; Braun, Ibanez, Brad Hawpe C: Yadier Molina; him for defensive purposes, Brian McCann for offense

AL
1B: Mark Teixeira; Justin Morneau 2B: Dustin Pedroia; Aaron Hill 3B: Evan Longoria; definitely him! SS: Derek Jeter; him or a strong case for Jason Bartlett OF: Jason Bay, Ichiro, Josh Hamilton; Bay, Ichiro, Torii Hunter (as much as I love Hamilton, sorry!!!) C: Joe Mauer; Joe Mauer

I also think the starting pitching should be Tim Lincecum against Roy Halladay, although I think Greinke will get the nod from Joe Maddon--but if you put Halladay vs. Greinke any other day of the week, I sincerely think Halladay would pitch better under pressure...

The last vote in each league should be Pablo Sandoval (AL) and James Loney (NL).
