There's never enough room on the MLB All-Star rosters for every deserving player.
Both leagues' stacked Midsummer Classic teams were revealed Tuesday night. For every feel-good story recognized, some great players are left with nothing to show for their stellar starts.
Expect some changes before next Tuesday's showdown. Two more players will be selected in the final fan vote, and injuries are bound to cause some honorees to bow out. Starting pitchers who take the mound on Sunday are prohibited from partaking, a rule that results in extra turnover.
For now, the following exclusions will simply have to enjoy a short vacation instead of traveling to San Diego.
