The game doesn't consider injured players for the All-Star team, so I made my own selections. Waner is the only one of the injured guys who is out for more than a few days. The Tigers will have to do without him for five more weeks, but they're used to that by now. Big Poison is, without doubt, the most fragile superstar in the game. He breaks something every season; this time, it's his cheekbone.
