A number of starting pitchers will not be there unfortunately, but the MLB players largely manned up at all the other positions to represent the country. Should still be a competitive team.
MLB players included are:
Starting pitchers - Rich Harden and his 2.07 ERA (Cubbies) (questionable), Jeff Francis a former 17 game winner (Rockies), and Scott Richmond (Blue Jays)
Relievers - Eric Gagne Cy Young winner (Brewers) & Jesse Crain (Twins)
Catchers - Russ Martin all-star game starter (Dodgers) & Luke Carlin (Padres)
Infielders - Justin Morneau AL MVP (Twins), Joey Votto and his 24 HRs (Reds), Pete Orr utility man (Senators), and Mark Teahen (Royals)
Outfielders - Jason Bay and his 31HRs/101RBIs (Red Sox) & Matt Stairs (Phillies)
