There have been posts essentially asking why certain players were snubbed. For the most part, please don't blame the two managers.
The fans select the starters which explains the number of Cubs & Red Sox. The players then select backups at each position plus a number of the pitchers. The managers then fill out the final SIX on the squad and are required to have at least one representative from each team.
According to MLB.Com here are the final six managerial picks:
American:
Guillen (only Tiger representative)
Navarro
Sherill (only Orioles representative)
Duchscherer (only Athletics representative)
Nathan
Soria (only Royals representatives)
National:
Guzman (only Nationals representatives)
McCann
Pujols
Zambrino
Haren
Wagner (only Mets representatives)
Each team has 12 pitchers so I assume that is required.
