2008 CFOD All-Star Teams Below are the teams for the 2008 CFOD all-star game to be held at the Metrodome, home of the Missouri Mudfish, 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-0.751)*0.09 STARTPITVAL = ((WINS+SAVES)/1.2+IP/10*((LN(4.33/ERA)+LN(0.751/OPS)))) RELPITVAL = ((WINS+SAVES)/1.6+IP/5*((LN(4.33/ERA)+LN(0.751/OPS)))) Where SBSLG is slugging percentage with net steals factored in, WHIP is (walks + hits)/IP, 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.

Young Hanley Ramirez of the Stingers was the top rated batter in the conference. Topeka and Paxtang tied for most all-stars with 4 each. Jonathan Papelbon is the top rated reliever in the conference, and the highest ERA amongst the relievers is a miniscule 2.23. The oldest player on the roster is Austin's Mike Mussina at 39 years of age. Reliever Joba Chamberlain of the Pitbulls is the youngest at 22.

Brandon Webb starts his second all-star game in 3 years and is presently the front runner for the Cy Young award. 3 players are tied for the youngest all-star, while all-time great closer Mariano Rivera is the oldest on the roster at 38 years of age. Who says base stealers are a thing of the past? Jose Reyes, Brian Roberts and Alex Rios all have over 20 steals for the season and still made the all-star team. Carlos Pena starts his 2nd straight all-star game after being drafted from the free-agent pool by the Sluggers in 2007. SOME OF THE OTHERS WHO DID NOT MAKE THE CUT...
