Hey Now, You're A Fantasy All-Star

In 5x5 leagues, these are the players who should be starters next month in San Francisco. I think I can safely say many of them will not be voted to start the game, because it's up to the fans, many of whom live (and vote) in New York and Boston.

American League
Catcher - Victor Martinez (.316, 31, 12, 50, 0), vote leader - Ivan Rodriguez
First Base - Justin Morneau (.282, 38, 16, 44, 0), vote leader - David Ortiz
Second Base - Brian Roberts (.327, 38, 2, 17, 19), vote leader - Robinson Cano
Shortstop - Jhonny Peralta (.302, 34, 11, 35, 2), vote leader - Derek Jeter
Third Base - Alex Rodriguez (.292, 49, 20, 47, 6), vote leader - Alex Rodriguez
Outfield - Magglio Ordonez (.362, 50, 13, 52, 0), vote leader - Vladimir Guerrero
Outfield - Grady Sizemore (.276, 49, 10, 29, 17), vote leader - Manny Ramirez
Outfield - Vladimir Guerrero (.357, 33, 12, 50, 1), vote leader - Ichiro Suzuki

National League
Catcher - Russell Martin (.314, 38, 7, 39, 8), vote leader - Paul LoDuca
First Base - Prince Fielder (.294, 37, 20, 45, 0), vote leader - Albert Pujols
Second Base - Chase Utley (.304, 41, 10, 44, 3), vote leader - Chase Utley
Shortstop - Jose Reyes (.316, 42, 2, 26, 30), vote leader - Jose Reyes
Third Base - Miguel Cabrera (.319, 35, 11, 40, 0), vote leader - David Wright
Outfield - Matt Holliday (.345, 31, 10, 44, 3), vote leader - Carlos Beltran
Outfield - Carlos Lee (.313, 30, 11, 52, 3), vote leader - Ken Griffey Jr.
Outfield - Eric Byrnes (.310, 36, 9, 32, 10), vote leader - Barry Bonds

Based on the voting so far, many of these current fantasy leaders can hope for a reserve spot, at best, July 10. At least Tony LaRussa and Jim Leyland get to pick the starting pitchers, so there's a decent chance it will be Jake Peavy vs. Dan Haren
