In advance of the Esurance All-Star Starters Selection Show on Tuesday (7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN and WatchESPN), ESPN.com asked six of its contributors -- Jim Bowden, Jerry Crasnick, Tim Kurkjian, Buster Olney, David Schoenfield and Jayson Stark -- to select the players who should comprise the National League's 34-man roster for the 87th Midsummer Classic on July 12 at San Diego's Petco Park.
Note: Players expected to be on the disabled list through the All-Stars Game -- such as Clayton Kershaw who was initially named a starter by all six of our voters -- were excluded from the roster.
