There were many questionable decisions with this roster. One was the selection of Omar Infante as an NL Reserve. He is hitting a nice .309 on the year, but only has one home run and twenty-two RBIs. This is by far the least of any All-Star. Another is Michael Bourne, hitting just .260 with one home run. These selections were made by Charlie Manuel, the Phillies manager. An interesting question made with the selection was leaving Steven Strasburg off the roster. Yes, he only has a handful of starts, but many believed he was deserving of a selection. Another was leaving Jered Weaver, a strikeout leader off the American League roster. Share your opinions of the selections.
