My Version of the 2009 All Star Roster
Of course, many people have their own opinion of who should be on the 2009 All Star roster. And of those many people, I too have my opinion. I have made these decisions based upon talent, skill, most deserving, and my personal preference. I’m not saying this should be the starting roster of the 2009 All Star Game, but it is who I’d like to see on the roster. I would appreciate it if know one would comment on “why this guy over this guy” or “you call that guy deserving?” It’s just my opinion. It also doesn’t mean that these are the people that I voted for.
