With the 2008 MLB All-Star Game rosters announced on Sunday, and the inevitable controversy that always follows the selections, we decided to take a look at the Top-Ten Worst MLB All-Stars (the list was limited to picks after 1970, when fans were allowed to vote again). This year, it seems that Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek is everyone's number-one target for who should not be an All-Star. Did he make our list? Read on to find out.

Before you get upset, yes, obviously Cal Ripken was a great player -- one of the best.  But this list is to identify the worst all-star selections in individual seasons, and in 2001, Ripken was pretty bad.  The Iron Man finished that year hitting just .239 with a .276 on-base percentage, both career lows.  Clearly, this was a sentimental selection, but it does not excuse the pick -- he was hitting just .240 with 4 HR and an OPS+ of 56 at the time of the All-Star Game.  To his credit though, Ripken gave the fans what they wanted, starting the game at shortstop and hitting his second career All-Star Game home run.
