The full All-Star Game rosters were released on Monday night, and players like Prince Fielder, Jason Kipnis and Nolan Arenado—whom many felt should have started at their respective positions—made it as reserves.

A number of current and future baseball stars have erupted with massive performances during the first half of the 2015 MLB season.

Just over half of the 2015 MLB season is in the books, and the Yankees sit atop a tight AL East. But despite their success this season so far, the Bombers have plenty of notable weaknesses as they work toward a 28th World Series title.

Outrageous. Scandalous. Freaking criminal!

Take out the pitchforks. After teasing baseball fans with the starting lineups on Sunday night, MLB released the complete 2015 All-Star Game rosters on Monday.

This is what you call a snowball. Or at this point it might seem more like Murphy’s Law trying to take effect on the Detroit Tigers, because anything that can seemingly go wrong is creeping around the team right now.

Each year, a few select players have the misfortune of being labeled as "All-Star Game snubs." The fan vote to determine starting position players is an imperfect system, as evidenced by the current crop of potential starters in the American League. Eight Kansas City Royals players rank within the top three vote-getters at their positions.
