All-Star Snubs

Everybody knows who’s on the All-Star teams by now, and if not, here you go. So I’ll leave all of the writing about the great All-Star debate to other bloggers and writers and simply focus on the All-Snub All-Star team, one for the AL and one for the NL.

Slight disclaimer: This isn’t meant to say that the players who are starting in the All-Star game shouldn’t be, in favor of these snubbed players, this is just the best of what’s left and in each case where I feel a player should have made it in place of another player, I’ll happily let you know.
