2012-All-Star-GameThe 2012 All-Star rosters for the 83rd All-Star game in Kansas City’s Kauffman Stadium on July 10 have been made and fans have until Thursday to make their selections on the final two players via the Final Vote.  as is always the case, some players were left off the roster that are truly deserving.

This year, Brandon Phillips and Johnny Cueto from the Cincinnati Reds won’t be added to the roster.  Superstar and $240 million man Albert Pujols of the Angels is not an All-Star for the second year in a row.

Voting for the Final Vote will add one additional player to each league roster.

For the American League the candidates are, Jonathan Broxton, Yu Darvish, Ernesto Frieri, Jason Hammel, and Jake Peavy. The National League candidates are Michael Bourne, David Freese, Bryce Harper, Aaron Hill and Chipper Jones.

Voting will conclude for the final vote on Thursday at 4 PM Eastern time. The Home Run Derby is expected to draw lots of attention as always.

Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton received  11,073,744 votes to shatter the previous record by nearly 4,000,000 votes. Buster Posey led all National League players with 7,621,370 votes.
