It has become a yearly tradition that we look at all the former MLB All-Stars (and a few guys we expected more out of this year) that aren’t having stellar years.

The season is a little more than half over and it’s not too late for some of these players to bounce back and turn their seasons around.

Since I’m an active fantasy baseball owner, it didn’t take me long to make this list. A few of these guys were on my teams early this season, but were quickly dropped after a few weeks of bad numbers. I spent most of my time just baffled that some of these guys were actually All-Stars at one point.

The old benchmark for an All-Star was thrown out with the bathwater when Bud Selig decided each team must have at least one representative in the All-Star Game.

Here is America’s White Boy‘s 2015 MLB Un-All-Star team.

I do realize that some of the guys on the list have double-digit homers or a positive win-loss record, but if you are hitting near the Mendoza Line (.200) or have an ERA north of 4.00, as a former All-Star, you’re having a poor season.

Also, some of these players have actually either been designated for assignment or released, so I listed their last known MLB team.
