We're about 40 games into the baseball season - this is really the first time I look at individual baseball statistics outside of a fantasy context. This year the All Star rosters have 21 position players and 13 pitchers each - here, based largely on WARP3, are the players currently having the best seasons. I'll do this again at the 60 game mark and then one last time at the 80 game mark. I normally make sure each team is represented, 'cause that's fun to do, but haven't had time to consider it for this post (edit - upon a quick look, I think I'm just missing the Fish, I'll find a Marlin and make a switch. Second edit. Done.) If I get a second I'll see if I have any holes. I'm not naming a specific DH, but the new rules have one being used every year now. It's early enough, even at 40 games in, that there are some odd results (like backup catchers making the all star team, and the NL has middle relievers but no closers) but most of that will be sorted out by the 60 game mark.
