My predictions for the American League All Star Team

Lately, we've been hearing a lot about the fan voting for the All Star Game this summer in Anaheim at Angel Stadium. Many of baseball's most talented players lead in the voting, even though some do not deserve it (I'm talking to you, Mark Teixeira). Nonetheless, I felt it appropriate to reveal my predictions for the American League All Star Team. (Unbiased of course) *-signifies starter
