alright, so i think your national league lineup is pretty much what mine would be. definitely so on the infield - save maybe go with jose reyes over hanley. i think they are equally deserving, both are hitting .320 right now, but reyes has 16 more stolen bases, 10 more rbis... hanley does have more runs scored though. jose reyes is considered the more exciting player (especially by the sunday night baseball crew), so he'll probably get the spot. i would give it to hanley though.
your national league outfield is probably what it should be although it scares me that two of the three are capable of a career ending injury while jogging and the other may eat himself out of playing shape. so i'm gonna drop carlos lee in favor of matt holliday. leads the league in hitting, more home runs than lee, and only 1 fewer rbi. so yeah, holliday gets my vote.
now for the american league. a few changes/thoughts:
(1) shortstop. jeter probably gets the spot, but orlando cabrera is right there and deserving of it as well.
(2) i'm dropping torii hunter. vlad has to be in my AL outfield. simple as that.
(3) i like the dustin pedroia suggestion, but i think you gotta give the nod to polanco. his average is 16 points higher, he has more rbis, more doubles, and nearly double the amount of runs scored.
you could also make a pretty convincing case for B.J. Upton too, but i'll go with placido. good pick with pedroia though... under the radar a bit, i like it -- just have to agree to disagree on that one.
