Nelson Cruz replaces Torii Hunter in AS game...

Bit surprised at this one. Is there a way Miguel Cabrera can find himself on the roster or what?

I know Hunter is hurt by why did Cruz get on there. Did he have more votes then Cabby??

This replacement would have made sense in...May/June, but not now.

I guess the rule of thumb now is that if a reserve is not going to participate, than the next player with the highest amount of PLAYER votes gets the nod by position.

I guess Nelson gets the nod then.

Shame, both Rivera and Cabrera deserve to be on the team.

I'd throw Adam Lind and Russ Branyan along with Rivera and Cabrera on the All-Star team before Cruz. He is having a good offensive year but hasn't been very good the last few weeks.
