1996 CDBL All-Star Teams Below are the teams for the 1996 CDBL all-star game, to be held at County Stadium, home of the Manhatten Beach Mashers, the team with the best record at the break. Players were selected according to the following formulas: BATVAL = 0.09*(RUNS+RBI)+(AB+BB)*(OBA+SBSLG-0.764)*0.09 STARTPITVAL = ((WINS+SAVES)/1.2+IP/10*((LN(4.45/ERA)+LN(0.764/OPS)))) RELPITVAL = ((WINS+SAVES)/1.6+IP/5*((LN(4.45/ERA)+LN(0.764/OPS)))) Where SBSLG is slugging percentage with net steals factored in, and LN is the natural log of the function. Starters are those that have at least half of their game appearances as game starts, while relievers are those that do not have at least half of their appearances as game starts. Hitters only qualified at the position where they've played the most this season, with centerfields also qualifying in the left/right field positions if they had enough value. In general the formulas were balanced such that the best hitters/starters/relievers had an equal contribution from runs/RBI's/wins/saves as from their sabrmatic-esque stats.

Dewey Beach was not far behind, playing 5 of their hitters on the team. Mark McGwire is an early favorite for MVP (and with his 40 home runs and 99 RBI it's hard not to see why), but Dewey Beach's Jim Thome is actually the higher rated slugger at the break. People must be "eating healthy" this year, as 5 players on the AP all-stars are a threat to hit 60+ home runs. Juan Guzman and Scott Sanders of the Mashers lead the starting rotation, while all of the closers are on pace to save 30 games each.
