The 2018 MLB All-Star Game is about a week away and it has become a yearly tradition that we look at all the former MLB All-Stars that are having bad 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. You can look at our Un-All-Star team article last year, a few bounced back and finished strong.

I’m a very active fantasy baseball owner, it didn’t take me long to make this list. I always keep an eye on fantasy busts and many on this list were selected in fantasy baseball drafts in March.

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 the America’s White Boy‘s 2018 MLB Un-All-Star team.

I do realize that some of the guys on the list are more known for their glove than their bat, but if you are hitting near the Mendoza Line (.200) or have an ERA north of 4.75, as a former All-Star, you’re having a poor season.

Also, some of these players have actually either been injured or suspended. Getting injured isn’t fun, but as a former All-Star, fans expected the player on the field…so it’s disappointing.
