Former Cal Leaguers in the All Star Game

I meant to do this closer to when the rosters were initially released, but I was out most of yesterday. These are all the players that played even one game in the Cal League, and I'll count guys that had rehab stints too. In the rare occurrence a player played for two different Cal League teams, they'll be in italics and listed with both.

Bakersfield Blaze
Elvis Andrus (2007)
Josh Hamilton (2002)

Inland Empire 66ers/San Bernardino Stampede
Adrian Beltre (1996)
Matt Thornton (2001, 2003)

Lake Elsinore Storm
Evan Meek (2006)

Modesto A's/Nuts
Andre Ethier (2004)
Tim Hudson (1998)
Ubaldo Jimenez (2005)
Troy Tulowitzki (2005, 2008)

Rancho Cucamonga Quakes
Vladimir Guerrero (2009-rehab)
Torii Hunter (2009-rehab)

San Jose Giants
Tim Lincecum (2006)
Brian Wilson (2006-2007)

Stockton Ports
Trevor Cahill (2008)

Visalia Oaks
Ubaldo Jimenez (2003-2004)
Evan Longoria (2006)
Evan Meek (2006)

That makes 15 different players, two of which played for different teams. Congratulations to these players and everyone who was named to the All Star team.

Of course the event of All Star week in the majors that somewhat pertains to the Cal League is the Futures Game, which ESPN will be broadcasting starting at 3 PM PT. I'll have some more coverage of that over the weekend.
