by Tommy Rancel on Jul 4, 2010 12:30 PM EDT

The Rays will be well represented in the 2010 All-Star game. Evan Longoria and Carl Crawford will form the first Tampa Bay duo to start for the American League squad while David Price has a chance to be the first Rays' pitcher to start the mid-summer classic.

David Price

11-4, 2.42 ERA, 3.69 FIP, 4.08 xFIP, 7.52 K/9, 3.51 BB/9

Evan Longoria

.294/.368/.500, 12 home runs, 24 doubles, .382 wOBA

Carl Crawford

.320/.379/.495, 7 home runs, 29 steals, .390 wOBA

As of press time, the AL team is not finalized, but if this man doesn't make it...

Rafael Soriano

2-0, 20 Saves, 1.52 ERA, 2.87 FIP, 3.88 xFIP, 7.82 K/9, 1.52 BB/

Matt Joyce needs consideration

Obviously a joke but I hope he can make more impact this year. Congrats to a local kid!

It's a shame that closers get all the publicity, because Benoit certainly deserves consideration

Benoit has been a stud

Yesterday he slammed the door during eigth. Balfour was horrible though-surprising?

I agree. but historically, isn't the All Star game a showcase for starters and closers?

What 8th inning guys have gone?

Manuel took 2 middle relievers, but this is the same guy that took Omar Infante

Girardi is an idiot

All these stupid yankees are on the roster and don’t deserve it. Also alot of stupid Red Sox are on it and don’t deserve.

Errr

What reliever can you remove for Soriano? The other ones have all had even better first halves, except perhaps Joakim Soria, and I’ve always been a fan of his

Take off Matt Thorton and that 3rd basman Rodriguez

and get Soriano and either Rios or Konerko so you still have a Whitesox player.

Has Rivera really been better than Soriano this season?

It seems to me that he made it this year on his name alone

In my day lots of messy tissues over her

Yep

His ERA, FIP, and xFIP are all better. And you know what? Even if they weren’t, I don’t think it’d be a huge sin if he made it on name alone over Soriano. Longo made it over Beltre on name alone.
