# Included as a "representative" of their team.
How do like this team compared to the actual All-Star rosters? Are you surprised at the names that are missing?
Oh, snap. I did miss that Carpenter is listed twice
Pedro Alvarez should be the other 3B backup.

Just hoping you realized that you have Matt Carpenter starting at 2B, but also on the bench as a 3B.
and i know his BA is lower, but I'd rather see Ibanez as DH than Ortiz. At least he can play OF (if need be) as well. Ortiz is limited to 1B, where I'd stick with Davis and Encarnacion.
