OK, quick, who should be the All-Star starter on this list:
| AVG | HR | RBI | OPS | OPS+ | WAR | |
| Player A | .341 | 12 | 53 | .922 | 141 | 2.9 |
| Player B | .294 | 12 | 56 | .868 | 132 | 3.2 |
| Player C | .278 | 12 | 61 | .842 | 129 | 2.2 |
All 3 of these players were named to the American League All-Star team today. Depending on what you look at, you can probably make a case for all 3 guys to be the starter, and keep in mind one is a Yankee and one is a Red Sox, so you have the popularity factor to include. Personally, based on the stats, I would go with Player B, and, it appears, the fan voting agrees with me on this one, by quite a margin.
Player A is Adrian Beltre, Player B is Evan Longoria and Player C is Alex Rodriguez.
