The rosters are set for the 2015 MLB All-Star Game in Cincinnati and the Kansas City Royals didn’t get as many starters voted in as they thought they were. Thank goodness, because we didn’t need a .200 hitter starting at 2nd base. Kansas City will start 4 guys for the American League. The only other team with more than 1 starter is the St. Louis Cardinals with Johnny Peralta and Matt Holliday. Josh Donaldson received the most votes in voting history with just over 14 million.

The reserves were also accounced on Monday and there were a couple of snubs, but each of these snubs have one more chance to be voted onto the team. Clayton Kershaw, Johnny Cueto, Jeurys Familia, Carlos Martinez, and Troy Tulowitzki for the National League and Xander Bogaerts, Yoenis Cespedes, Brian Dozier, Brett Gardner, and Mike Moustaksas for the American League. One from each league will complete the All-Star rosters.
