1998 CDBL All-Star Teams Below are the teams for the 1998 CDBL all-star game, to be held at Pro Player Stadium, home of the California Kamados, 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-0.750)*0.09 STARTPITVAL = ((WINS+SAVES)/1.2+IP/10*((LN(4.33/ERA)+LN(0.750/OPS)))) RELPITVAL = ((WINS+SAVES)/1.6+IP/5*((LN(4.33/ERA)+LN(0.750/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.

Ken Caminiti's switch to the AP conference granted him a starting position at 3B, and is also the oldest hitter on the squad at age 35. Mark McGwire has the league's highest hitter value, and that's not hard to fathom with 47 home runs. The Kamados have placed the most players on the AP all-star team with 5. California ace Omar Daal gets the starting nod, and teammate Jamie Moyer is not far behind in the rotation. The relievers on the team are so strong that none of the GT relievers would have made the AP all-star team.

Despite having the worst record in the leagues, the Rude Dawgs still placed an all-star in SS Nomar Garciaparra. The Surfers placed the most all-stars on the squad with 4. John Smoltz may be the only Maul all-star, but he makes the most of it, getting the starting nod in the pitcher slot. The Cautions' excellent pitching staff is well represented on the all-star team, with Kerry Wood and Wilson Alvarez making the team. At 22 years of age, Alex Rodriguez is the youngest all-star this year, and it's probably a foregone conclusion that this will not be his last. SOME OF THE OTHERS WHO DID NOT MAKE THE CUT...
