As the MLB All Star Game draws near on July 10, the official rosters have been announced minus the Final Vote competition which allows one more player to make the All-Star competition from each league via fan vote. The National League has a loaded roster and features leading NL vote-getter Buster Posey as well as some familiar faces in new places.
Carlos Beltran arrived in St. Louis hoping to help make up for the loss of Albert Pujols, but he’s exceeded all expectations with a first half worthy of an MVP run. Ryan Braun is also performing incredibly after dealing with allegations of performance enhancing drugs through the offseason. Here’s the complete NL roster.
