Go Cespedes! In the wake of coming out with his defection story, which I'm sure took a lot of courage, he goes out there, monkey off his back, ready to slug his way to baseball immortality winning a contest no one will remember! Thanks Robinson Cano for doing us A's fans a solid.

National League

David Wright, New York Mets (captain); Bryce Harper, Washington Nationals; Michael Cuddyer, Colorado Rockies; Pedro Alvarez, Pittsburgh Pirates.

American League

Robinson Cano, New York Yankees (captain); Chris Davis, Baltimore Orioles; Prince Fielder, Detroit Tigers; Yoenis Cespedes, Oakland Athletics.

THIS TIME IT COUNTS!*

*well not really but it counts way more for us than when there were no A's in the competition.

Here are the odds - Bryce Harper is favored, that media darling.
