The rosters for the 2016 Midwest League All-Star Game were announced Tuesday. I wrote about the starting position players in an earlier post, which you can read here. I’ll take a look at the bench players for both teams in this post, and then write about the All-Star pitchers in a subsequent post.

Fort Wayne TinCaps C Austin Allen (.320 BA, 3 HR, 22 RBI in 44 games)

The Midwest League All-Star Game will be played Tuesday, June 21, at Veterans Memorial Stadium, home of the Cedar Rapids Kernels. A home run derby will precede the All-Star Game, from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m.
How in the heck is Skye Bolt taking the spot of Magneuris Sierra. Don’t make sense to me.
