Can the record 214 million votes cast for All-Star starters be wrong? Maybe, maybe not. We'll find out Sunday when TBS broadcasts the All-Star unveiling show at 2 p.m. revealing the 17 starters (8 for National League, 9 for American League), as well as the 45 pitchers and reserves chosen by player ballot and managers Clint Hurdle and Terry Francona.

The game will be played July 15 at Yankee Stadium.

If the Braves' Brian McCann loses out in the voting at catcher to the Cubs' Geovany Soto, there's a chance he gets left off the roster altogether, depending on which players are taken to fill out the one-player-from-each-team requirement. So voting has ripple effects, and there are plenty of close races.

Here are five players who have been snubbed by voters, at least before that final 24-hour push:

1. Brian McCann. Due to the Cubs fan factor, McCann was trailing Soto by nearly 700,000 votes in the latest tally for NL catcher, even though he was leading Soto in batting average (.295-.287), home runs (14-13), doubles (24-23), slugging percentage (.533-.516) and OPS (.898-.889). He was trailing in RBIs (50-45).

If McCann doesn't win the vote, two others catchers are making a case to be the reserve: the Dodgers' Russell Martin, who's leading National League catchers with a .308 batting average to go with nine homers and 40 RBIs, and the Giants' Bengie Molina, who is hitting .302 with 49 RBIs, second among NL catchers only to Soto.

2. Adrian Gonzalez: Voters have ignored the remarkable work he's doing in San Diego in a pitcher's ballpark and as cleanup hitter in a terrible lineup (the Padres are 15th in the league in runs scored). He wasn't among the top five NL first basemen in voting. He's tied with the leading vote-getter at first base, Lance Berkman, for the second-most RBIs in the National League with 68 and he's tied for third in the NL with 21 homers while playing half his games in the vast Petco Park.

Clint Hurdle should probably see fit to add him to the roster as the Padres' representative.

3. Name the NL outfielder. You could make a case for Carlos Lee, the Houston Astros player who leads NL outfielders with 65 RBIs and is third with 19 homers but who was sixth in the latest voting. Or Pat Burrell, who is tied for the lead in home runs by NL outfielders with 21 and has 52 RBIs for the division-leading Phillies. Or perhaps any Pittsburgh Pirate outfielder — Nate McLouth, Jason Bay and Xavier Nady have combined to give the Pirates the most potent outfield in the league (first in RBIs, second in batting average, second in runs).

But with the nostalgic choice Ken Griffey Jr. and his 603 homers, and the Cubs' Alfonso Soriano and Kosuke Fukudome leading the voting, there's plenty of room for snubbing at this position, as usual.

4. J.D. Drew. Where are the Red Sox fans on this one? Perhaps there is some love-hate going on there. But after a torrid June in which he was named the AL player of the month with 21 extra-base hits in 26 games, Drew was leading AL outfielders in on-base percentage (.412), slugging percentage (.577) and on-base-plus-slugging percentage (.989). He's hitting .302 for the season with 16 homers and 51 RBIs.

He'd have a hard time beating out Josh Hamilton or Manny Ramirez in the voting, but Ichiro Suzuki is third in the voting in a so-so year by his standards.

5. Ian Kinsler. The Texas Rangers' second baseman leads the Red Sox's Dustin Pedroia is every major category except voting. Kinsler was hitting .323 with 13 home runs and 50 RBIs to Pedroia's .311 average, nine homers and 39 RBIs. He had stolen 23 bases to Pedroia's nine, and was leading him in on-base, slugging and on-base-plus-slugging percentage.

Perhaps Pedroia's manager will see the discrepancy and name Kinsler a reserve, if he doesn't make up the 200,000 gap in votes.
