There are 38 players on each All-Star team. In the AL, there are 24 position players and 14 pitchers. In the NL, there are 23 position players and 15 pitchers. Here's my attempt to put the best teams out there, ignoring fan voting, player/coach/manager voting, and the Bochy/Yost selections i.e. these are the All-Star teams if I was the only one picking them (kinda like in my own little OOTP world). I have not provided at least one all-star per team because in my view that rule makes no sense for a game that "means something". Players are listed in order, so the first player at each position is the guy I would start (unless injured of course).

AL:
P:
SP:
Dallas Keuchel, HOU (I agree with Yost that he should start the game)
Sonny Gray, OAK
Chris Sale, CWS
Chris Archer, TBR
David Price, DET
Felix Hernandez, SEA
Yovani Gallardo, TEX (substitute for Hector Santiago, LAA)
Corey Kluber, CLE (substitute for Brad Boxberger, TBR - yeah Kluber's 4-10, but he has 2.3 RS/G, and his peripherals are nearly identical to last years Cy Young winning season - he belongs)

RP:
Wade Davis, KCR
Glen Perkins, MIN
Dellin Betances, NYY
Zach Britton, BAL
Andrew Miller, NYY (substitute for Kelvin Herrera, KCR)
Carson Smith, SEA (substitute for Darren O'Day, BAL)

C:
Stephen Vogt, OAK
Brian McCann, NYY (substitute for Salvador Perez, KCR)
Russell Martin, TOR

1B:
Miguel Cabrera, DET
Mark Teixeira, NYY
Albert Pujols, LAA

2B:
Jason Kipnis, CLE
Brian Dozier, MIN
Jose Altuve, HOU

3B:
Josh Donaldson, TOR
Manny Machado, BAL
Kyle Seager, SEA (substitute for Brock Holt, BOS)
Trevor Plouffe, MIN (substitute for Mike Moustakas, KCR)

SS:
Xander Bogaerts, BOS (substitute for Jose Iglesias, DET)
Alcides Escobar, KCR

OF:
Mike Trout, LAA
Lorenzo Cain, KCR
Mookie Betts, BOS (substitute for Adam Jones, BAL)
Brett Gardner, NYY
J.D. Martinez, DET
Alex Gordon, KCR
Jose Bautista, TOR

DH:
Nelson Cruz, SEA
Prince Fielder, TEX
