Okay, who wins????
I don't know anything about you, but I'm assuming you must be a BoSox fan. Anyone in their right mind would know that Rivera would be the closer, and Beckett (who kinda sucks) would not be the #3 SP.
And the East would win, that lineup would be too ridiculous. I think you can add Hideki Matsui to that lineup (who is almost healthy), when you have Kazmir in there, who is on the DL.

Actually I'm not a Red Sox fan or a Yankee fan. Sorry you're Yankee love blinds you from reality. I'm just going strickly by this year's numbers. Matsui and Shef have barely played this year and would not be on any All-Star team. Liriano is in the same boat that Kazmir is but both have great numbers this year. I'll repeat, Pap has had a better year as closer than Rivera has. Rivera is obviously the better player so far but an All-Star team goes by yearly stats and Pap beats all other closers.

So if you are going by this year's numbers, why in the world would you include Josh Beckett??

No way, Cano has only played 89 games this season.
So? Cano is better then Loretta.
Maybe not roberts, but Loretta.
Both Loretta and Roberts have played more games and have contributed more fantasy-wise and in reality this year. If Cano had been healthy all year he'd probably have better numbers than Loretta. But he didn't and doesn't. Look it up before you automatically say I'm wrong.

He's been terrible this year.
Well who is a better starter than Beckett in the East that hasn't already been included? Johnson? Wang? Lilly? Bedard? Slim pickings if you ask me.

Josh Beckett has a 5.21 ERA and leads the AL in homers given up....
