The All-Stars include starters Brian McCann (C), Miguel Cabrera (LF), and Ichiro Suzuki (CF). Also flying to AT&T ballpark was closer Francisco (K-Rod) Rodriguez, DH Ryan Howard, and starters Jeremy Bonderman and ace Roy Oswalt. The leagues most potent offense supplied four regulars including reigning MVP Ryan Howard. Although Howard spend some time on the DL, he posted great numbers, with a .262, 14 HR, 40 RBI. Big Mac's efforts behind the plate were rewarded as well, .274, 6 HR, 26 RBI. Studs Miguel Cabrera and Ichiro posted MVP numbers. "Ichiro posted tremendous numbers as he set the table for the rest of the lineup. He allowed Miggie, Ryan, and the boys drive them in. K-Rod closed the big games that Bonderman and Oswalt. These guys have kept us in the race while closing the deficit," noted by Scouting Director Dayton Moore. We have also noted the youth of the MOAB all-stars, meaning the league should take notice.
