Fun Stuff
I'll assume a NL park, more fun.
AL
C: Wieters
1B: Chris Carter
2B: Robinson Cano
3B: Alex Gordon
SS: Tim Beckham
OF: Mike Moustakus
OF: Delmon Young
OF: Miguel Cabrera
P: Phil Hughes
NL
C: Martin
1B: Matt Laporta
2B: Matt Antonelli
3B: Wright
SS: Reyes
OF: J. Upton
OF: Ryan Braun
OF: Cameron Maybin
P: Franklin Morales
maybe 2016
I don't think it all likely that Beckham and Moustakas would be starting an all-star game in just five years (ditto above with Triunfel). I expect they'd be in the majors and they will start all-star games someday, but not as early as 2013.
Well
Technically, we're talking allstars here. So the rosters should be full of aging veterans with their best days behind them. :D
Maybe Jeter at short for one last hurrah?

i'll do pitchers too
AL:
C- Wieters
1B- Morneau
2B- Chris Nelson
SS- Brignac
3B- Gordon
OF- Delmon
OF- BOSSMAN
OF- Sizemore
P__Price
NL:
C- Martin
1B- Heyward
2B- Phillips
SS- Reyes
3B- Wright
OF- Braun
OF- Hermida
OF- Justin Upton
P__Kershaw
Or
AL:
C: Hank Conger
1B: Justin Morneau
2B: Howie Kendrick
SS: Elvis Andrus
3B: Evan Longoria
LF: Delmon Young
CF: Grady Sizemore
RF: Josh Hamilton (at some point is moved from CF)
DH: Billy Butler
Ace: Joba Chamberlain
Closer: Radhames Liz
----
NL:
C: Russ Martin
1B: Steve Pearce
2B: Matt Antonelli
SS: Jose Reyes
3B: David Wright
LF: Ryan Braun
CF: Jay Bruce
RF: Justin Upton
Starter: Clayton Kershaw
Closer: Jonathan Broxton
I like this one...
The only think I would do is move Weiters to C, go figure based on what others are writing. But if his big frame moves him out of the crouch and onto 1b, Conger would make sense.
2013 All-Star Lineups:
AL:
C- Wieters
1B- Pedro Alvarez (Among pros, I'd guess Jeff Clement)
2B- Pedroia
SS- Asdrubal Cabrera
3B- M-Cab
OF- Markakis (or Adam Jones)
OF- Hanley Ramirez (Yankees)
OF- Sizemore
DH- Butler
NL:
C- Martin
1B- Prince
2B- Jemile Weeks (among pros, I'd take Rickie)
SS- Tulowitzki
3B- Wright
OF- Francoeur
OF- Chris Young
OF- Justin Upton
These are absurd
Have you guys forgotten? At least 4 members of the starting AL team must either play for the Sox or the Yanks. So unless a bunch of these guys are getting signed or traded to NY or Boston, I find the AL lineups ridiculous.
maybe i should have specified...
I have BOSSMAN and Morneau on the Yanks in 2013... and Chris Nelson playing 2B for the Sox [as pedroia moves into a super-ute role for boston]
Maybe
There's still a lot of bench roles on these teams. But he might not make it on to the starting lineup.
i think Arod will still be an All-Star...just not a starter...
...Gordon is a charmer... men and women love him.... and I think Morneau will be at 1B for NYY, so maybe Arod is DH at that time...
To think
That only prospects or 1st year players are going to be the all-star roster is silly.
Utley is going to implode by then? Alex Rios will be about 32 as will Brandon Phillips. Pujols will be about 33, Khalil Greene will be 34.
For pitchers - Peavy, Webb, Jerod Weaver, Johan and Hamels will all be between 30-34. None of them will be dominating in 5 years?
A lot of these projected line-ups include guys who can make the all-star teams but my bet will be that a lot of the guys who were first timers last year and this year on the all-start team will be the people starting in 2013.
No doubt...
AL:
C - Wieters (Mauer is a 1B or OF)
1B - Prince (the newest Yankee/Red Sox)
2B - Kendrick (dueling Barton for the batting title at .385)
SS - Jeter (just hit 3000 and is contemplating retirement)
3B - Gordon
OF - Miguel Cabrera
OF - Sizemore
OF - BJ Upton
SP - Joba
NL:
C - Towles
1B - Prince
2B - Phillips
SS - Tulowitzki
3B - Wright
OF - Upton the younger
OF - Ryan Braun
OF - Corey Hart
SP - Peavy
Ichiro, on facing Daisuke Matsuzaka for the first time: "I hope he arouses the fire that's dormant in the innermost recesses of my soul."
Nah
As an herbivore, he will have no trouble maintaining a healthy body weight of around 275.
