Hey, the 2018 MLB Season is Half Over

Each year, at the 40/60/80 game mark I redo the end of season team predictions and select All Stars.

Last year (and I think it's the same this year) there are 32 roster spots for each team.  20 position players, 12 pitchers, at least 3 of those are relievers (in practice, you'll note many more relievers than that are usually chosen, but not by me). 

I do this All-Star selection every year - I do not recall a year where it was more challenging to get a representative from every team as it is with the AL this year.
