Let me introduce you my All-Star snubs of this year. It trim it down to 4 players each from both leagues. To me they are:
NL:
Michael Morse (.301; 15 HR; 47 RBI) - comeback player of the first half has produced offensively for the Nationals, more than $126 million man Jayson Werth. At least he was consider part of final roster vote.
Danny Espinosa (16 HR; 50 RBIs) - in his first full season he provided the Nationals a 1-2 offensive punch. His 16 HRs currently tied 10th in the NL.
Anibal Sanchez (6-2; 3.58 ERA; 117 strikeouts) - back to form after battling injuries for past few years. His 117 strikeouts is tied 9th in the league.
Tommy Hanson (10-4; 2.44 ERA; 1.02 WHIP) - one of 13 players to have 10 or more wins with a low ERA and still no appearance.
AL:
Dan Haren (10-5; 2.61 ERA; 134.1 IP; .95 WHIP) - like Hanson, one of 13 players with 10 or more wins, a low ERA, and effective starter stretching out innings and walking fewer batters.
Alex Gordon (.299; 106 hits; 11 HR; 50 RBI) - finally has his breakout season with showing off his offensive bat. At least he was part of the final vote.
Nelson Cruz (20 HR; 55 RBI in 73 games) - despite missing 1/5 of the season he bounced back with his offensive pop that netted him 20 homeruns in 73 games. Those 20 homeruns currently ranked 9th in the league.
Adam Lind (.300; 78 hits; 16 HR; 52 RBI in 67 games) - like Cruz who missed part of the season he manage make it up with his offensive with his homers and driving in runs including a healthy .300 average.

MLB takes over the Dodgers
Major League Baseball taking over business and day-to-day operations of Los Angeles Dodgers. Second time MLB taken over a team. The first time they took over then-Montreal Expos they shopped around Washington DC/northern Virginia area hoping to attract suckers to buy it while gutting the franchise players and prospects. It's not likely its going to happen in Dodger-land but for Dodgers fans be on a look out as MLB might attempt to sell their big money contract players and stars along with top prospects from the farm system. Hopefully they can find anyone to buy the team AND not demand a new stadium or risk moving. A once-proud prestige franchise is now in a sorry state from mismanagement.
