Howie Stearns (Hon): WaveRunner setup man Stearns went 5-0 and 5 of 5 in save opportunities while hanging on to a 2.20 ERA.
Willie Tavarez (Cin): Cincy 1B Tavarez was third in the NL with 118 hits and sports a .325 batting average.
Jose Lugo (Ind/SLC): Switching teams midyear is only reason NL league leader in hits 2B Jose Lugo was left out of the All-star game.
Keith Maddox (Oak): Maddoxs AL leading 36 homeruns, along with 105 hits and 1.035 OPS were not enough to earn an invitation.
Alvin Wilkins(TB): Tampa Bay workhorse Alvin Wilkins gets no love after a 10-2 start, even with a 3.67 ERA and 129 strikeouts.
Albert Pescado (TB): Cyclon closer Albert Pescado had a league leading 30 saves at the break, but the selection committee must have decided he has too many awards already.
