2013 MLB All-Stars First Look

Not much time left to get my All-Star votes in.  I love it when there's a no-brainer at almost every spot.  Here are the obvious choices for this year's Midsummer Classic.  (Brandon Phillips gets in despite his horrific slump and Matt Carpenter's emergence.)

Nine position players a side, and nine pitchers (five starters and four relievers).
