On the heels of Ubaldo Jimenez and David Price being named starting pitchers for Tuesday’s All-Star Game, managers Charlie Manuel and Joe Girardi also named their respective starting lineups. They are:
2010 MLB All-Star Game Starting Lineups Announced
National League
Hanley Ramirez, SS
Martin Prado, 2B
Albert Pujols, 1B
Ryan Howard, DH
David Wright, 3B
Ryan Braun, LF
Andre Ethier, CF
Corey Hart, RF
Yadier Molina, C
American League
Ichiro, RF
Derek Jeter, SS
Miguel Cabrera, 1B
Josh Hamilton, CF
Vladimir Guerrero, DH
Evan Longoria, 3B
Joe Mauer, C
Robinson Cano, 2B
Carl Crawford, LF
No big surprises here, other than Howard being named the NL’s cleanup hitter against a left-handed starting pitcher in Price who has limited lefty bats to a .225 career average. But then that’s getting a little too analytical over a game that, in truth, deserves little analysis.
It’s worth noting that All-Star Yadier Molina has the fourth-lowest OPS in baseball among players with at least 250 trips to the plate.
