The 2005 All-Star Game will feature new young stars and and rising talent from the Major League. Names like Sosa, Bonds, Maddux, or Griffey won't show up on the lineup card for this upcoming mid season classic. These prominent superstars will not even been used as reserves from the bench. Younger players that deserve their spot at their respective positions earned their right to start. Some old faces will be present for the All-Star game. Though for the first time in ages, players like the Orioles second basemen, Brian Roberts, the Rangers' first basemen Mark Teixeira, and Marlins ace Dontrelle Willis can't help but receive the most attention. Don't forget about the pitching phenoms, Mark Buerhle and Johan Santana who have took the American league by storm. Buerhle claims stake to 10 or 11 wins with an ERA around 3.00. This lefty has become a team leader for the White Sox. Santana also continues to win games while piling up league leading strikeout totals. Any team would be lucky to have either one of these guys in their starting rotation.
With the break for mid-season approaching many fans are looking forward to the homerun Derby. This will be an interesting show as the venue will be in Detroit. For the world to see, it's going to be a showcase of the best sluggers in baseball. Participants include Andruw Jones, Miguel Tejada, Adam Dunn, Manny Ramirez, Mark Teixeira, and several other young stars. The All-Star game is going to be a blast! Lack of offense shouldn't be a problem. People expect to see some homeruns, that's for sure. Insight from the game can show which players may have the biggest impact on baseball in the second half. The All-Star game is a place for superstars to emerge. Don't forget to catch a red hot minute of the All-Star game next week.
