Worst MLB All-Stars Of All Time

Worst All-Stars Of Every MLB Team 


Seattle On Tap Edit

Every MLB team sends a player to the mid-summer classic. But sometimes it's not deserved. These are the worst All-Stars for every team in MLB history.

Atlanta Braves- Russ Ortiz (2003)


Seattle On Tap Edit

Ortiz had a couple good seasons. But his win total of 21 wins was more about the team's offense than Ortiz. He led the National League in walks.

Miami Marlins- Henderson Alvarez (2014)


Seattle On Tap Edit

Alvarez had a great start of his career. But the reason he's on this list? Well he was out of the league by age 25 due to injuries.

New York Mets- Bobby Jones (1997)


Seattle On Tap Edit

The reason Bobby Jones made the all-star game? Well, every team gets one. A half-season good performance gave him a spot on the team.

Philadelphia Phillies- Domonic Brown (2013)


Seattle On Tap Edit

Lightning in a bottle is the best way to describe what happened her. He was a top prospect that burst onto the scene. And then he fizzled out quickly. 

Washington Nationals/Expos- Matt Capps (2010)


Seattle On Tap Edit

Capps was the lone National All-Star in 2010. He was their closer. But batters were also hitting .300 against him. 

Chicago Cubs- Bryan LaHair (2012)


Seattle On Tap Edit

What a weird story. He was a career minor leaguer and caught fire, batting .390 in April that season. By the second half of the season? He lost his job. 

Cincinnati Reds- Bronson Arroyo (2006)


Seattle On Tap Edit

Arroyo was a good starter. But he was not "All-Star" caliber. He was 9-6 with a 2.96 ERA at the break.

Milwaukee Brewers-Derrick Turnbow (2006)


Seattle On Tap Edit

His All-Star selection was around the same time his career was going downhill. He made the team with a 4.74 ERA.

Pittsburgh Pirates- Mike Williams (2003)


Seattle On Tap Edit

Someone had to make it for the Pirates. He had a 6.29 ERA but the Pirates had to send one player. Well, he had 25 saves so he got the nod.

St. Louis Cardinals- Edward Mujica (2013)


Seattle On Tap Edit

He made the All-Star team as the closer of the Cardinals. By the end of the year? Well he had already lost his job.

Arizona Diamondbacks- Junior Spivey (2002)


Seattle On Tap Edit

In just his 2nd season he made the All-Star game batting .345. however he never played over 107 games in a season again.

Colorado Rockies- Shawn Chacon (2003)


Seattle On Tap Edit

Sure he was 11-4 and that got him a All-Star nod. But he had a 4.27 ERA.

Los Angeles Dodgers- Mike Sharperson (1992)


Seattle On Tap Edit

It was a down year for the Dodgers. So somehow, a 30 year old backup who had just 48 starts at the break made the team.

San Diego Padres- Everth Cabrera (2013)


Seattle On Tap Edit

There was one reason he made the All-Star game. And that was his speed. He led the NL in steals the year prior to being selected an All-Star.

San Francisco Giants- Shawn Estes (1997) 


Seattle On Tap Edit

This was an absolute career year for Shawn Estes. He never won more than 11 games after his lone All-Star year.

Baltimore Orioles- Ty Wigginton (2010)


Seattle On Tap Edit 

The Orioles lost 96 games that season. But he at least had 14 HRs at the All-Star break earning him the nod.

Boston Red Sox- Tim Wakefield (2009)


Seattle On Tap Edit 

The 42 year old made his first and only All-Star game. Somehow, he made it with a 4.30 ERA.

New York Yankees- Mike Stanton (2001)


Seattle On Tap Edit

The relief pitcher Stanton made the 2001 AL All-Star team. He was a middle reliever which is rare to earn a nod.

Tampa Bay Rays- Lance Carter (2003)


Seattle On Tap Edit

The Rays were in last place but needed a representative. Their closer Lance Carter got the nod despite a 4.33 ERA.

Toronto Blue Jays- Steve Delabar (2013)


Seattle On Tap Edit

He was a journeyman reliever. But he had a dominant first half and earned his first and only all-star berth.

Chicago White Sox- Scott Podsednik (2005)


Seattle On Tap Edit/ MLB.com

Somehow, he made it VIA fan vote. He had 0 HRs at the time and an average batting average.

Cleveland Guardians- Chris Perez (2011)


Seattle On Tap Edit/ MLB.com

He was a decent closer. But a 3.45 ERA for a closer wasn't dominant enough to justify being a two time All-Star.

Detroit Tigers- Brandon Inge (2009)


Seattle On Tap Edit 

Inge won the final van vote in 2009. And made it over players with higher production like Chone Figgins and Ian Kinsler.

Kansas City Royals- Mark Redman (2006)


Seattle On Tap Edit

Redman's 2006 All-Star game selection was infamous. He had a 5.27 ERA and nearly as man walks as strikeouts.

Minnesota Twins- Joe Mays (2001)


Seattle On Tap Edit 

Mays had a breakout first half in 2001. But this was his lone big season.

Houston Astros- John Hudek (1994)


Seattle On Tap Edit

A rookie closer made the All-Star team. And this was with a season with a 4+ ERA.

Los Angeles Angels- Jason Dickson (1997)


Seattle On Tap Edit

Dickson was a rookie pitcher and made the 1997 All-Star Team. He was 8-4 and plateaued in his career after.

Oakland Athletics- Ryan Cook (2012)


Seattle On Tap Edit

Cook was a middle reliver who happened to the only All-Star on a very good Athletics team. They won 94 games and somehow he got the All-Star nod.

Seattle Mariners- Daniel Vogelbach (2019)


Seattle On Tap Edit

Every team gets one player. And somehow the Seattle Mariners got Daniel Voghelback to the all-star game. He was average at best but did have some pop.

Texas Rangers- Roger Pavlick (1996)


Seattle On Tap Edit

Somehow a 5.19 ERA at the All-Star break still led him to get to go to the All-Star game.
