The MLB All Star Game 2011 lineups die has been cast; starting pitchers of this year's edition of the All Star Game will be the Phillies’ Roy Halladay and the Angels’ Jered Weaver.

After all the talk about the mass withdrawals from the game, the dust is finally settling in Phoenix, and players of top teams on the MLB board are ready for the All-Star Game at Arizona's Chase Field on Tuesday night.
First MLB "All Star game" played in Arizona, the 82nd in-season exhibition game between the National League and the American League goes live at home of the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Chase Field in Phoenix.
The lineups are ready. The American League (visiting team) have NY Yankees center fielder CurtisGranderson leading off, then Cleveland shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera.
Red Sox first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, Blue Jays right fielder Jose Bautista, Texas left fielder Josh Hamilton, Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre.
Boston designated hitter David Ortiz, Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano and Detroit catcher Alex Avila.
For the National League lineups: it is Milwaukee's Rickie Weeks leading off and playing second base, then designated hitter Carlos Beltran of the Mets.
Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp, Milwaukee first baseman Prince Fielder, Atlanta catcher Brian McCann, St. Louis right fielder Lance Berkman.
Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday, Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki and Cincinnati third baseman Scott Rolen.
The All Star Game 2011 lineups come after a week characterized by talks of mass withdrawals, and MLB stars like Alex Rodriguez scratched because of injuries.
National League All-Star Team: The Phillies starters Roy Halladay, Cliff Lee, and Cole Hamels are all on the pitching staff. Two Brewers are into the starting lineup: First baseman Prince Fielder and second baseman Rickie Weeks.
The Giants dominate the National League pitching staff, with each of starters Tim Lincecum, Matt Cain, and Ryan Vogelsong and closer Brian Wilson named to the squad. Third baseman Pablo Sandoval is the last addition to the roster on Sunday.
The Braves have catcher Brian McCann in the starting lineup for the National League team, with Jair Jurrjens, Jonny Venters, and Craig Kimbrel on the pitching staff.
The Cardinals have outfielder Lance Berkman in the starting lineup for Tuesday plus catcher Yadier Molina and outfielder Matt Holliday on the bench.
American League All-Star Team: the Boston Red Sox feature both first baseman Adrian Gonzalez and designated hitter David Ortiz in the starting lineup for the American League team, with third baseman Kevin Youkilis and outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury on the bench and Josh Beckett on the pitching staff.
The New York Yankees have second baseman Robinson Cano and outfielder Curtis Granderson. Catcher Russell Martin also made the American League team as a reserve along with reliever David Robertson.
The Rangers have outfielder Josh Hamilton as a starter for Tuesday night. Third baseman Adrian Beltre, designated hitter Michael Young, and pitchers C.J. Wilson and Alexi Ogando complete the Texas representatives on Tuesday night.
Detroit Tigers catcher Alex Avila will be starting Tuesday night, while first baseman Miguel Cabrera, shortstop Jhonny Peralta, and pitchers Justin Verlander and Jose Valverde are also selected to the team.
