Usual.


Rosters were announced for MLB's 2012 All-Star Game on TBS this afternoon. 3 Detroit Tigers will be in attendance, Prince Fielder, Miguel Cabrera and Justin Verlander, otherwise known as the usual suspects. Despite having a breakout season, Austin Jackson was not named to the team or to the fan's Final Vote ballot.

Cabrera made the team as a reserve 3rd baseman, as voted by the players. This will be his 7th All-Star Game, 3rd as a Tiger. Cabrera is hitting .376/.541/.917, with a .315 BA, 16 HR and 62 RBI. Cabrera has now been named an All-Star at 3 positions, OF, 1B and 3B.

Verlander will make his 5th appearance in the midsummer classic. The Tigers' number one starter is 8-5 with a 2.69 ERA, leading the AL in strikeouts with 121.
