Here's who the pitchers on the All-Star team ought to be, according to WS as calculated by The Hardball Times. For this purpose, I've used 7 starters and 3 relievers.
AL
Buehrle, Chi.
Halladay, Tor.
Garland, Chi.
Rogers, Tex.
Colon, L.A.
Clement, Bos.
Santana, Min.
P.Walker, Tor.
Shields, L.A.
Politte, Cle.
Quite a non-traditional list of starters, other than former Cy Young winners Halladay and Santana. And how 'bout those relievers. Not a closer among them. Of course, those three relievers will never be invited to the game. If you'd like all three to be closers, then WS suggests B.J. Ryan (Balt.), Dustin Hermanson (Chi.) and Mariano Rivera (N.Y.)
NL
Clemens, Hou.
Willis, Fla.
Oswalt, Hou.
B.Myers, Phi.
P.Martinez, N.Y.
B.Webb, Ari.
Smoltz, Atl.
Cordero, Was.
Wagner, Phi.
T.Jones, Fla.
These starters are less surprising. Interestingly, all three relievers are closers...and so is Smoltz, for that matter. :)
