More: Stan McNeal’s American League All-Star picks There are three days until the 2010 All-Star rosters will be announced. You know what that means? Time to pick your team. Guideline No. 1: It isn’t always about the most deserving players. Because every team must be represented, some deserving players will miss the chance to play in Anaheim on July 13.

Padres pitchers, Votto among biggest All-Star snubs
The All-Star rosters are out . Let the griping begin. There is plenty to gripe about, too: An ERA of 2.62 and a WHIP of 0.96 aren’t enough to make the Padres’ Mat Latos an All-Star. 1.
