After weeks of consternation that Kansas City Royals fans had hijacked the All-Star voting, the fans of the other teams rallied in the end and only four Royals will be in the American League's starting lineup, after as many as eight Royals had led the voting at one point. Most notably, one of those four starters is not second baseman Omar Infante, whose selection would have set off a chain reaction that would have prevented more deserving players from getting selected to the All-Star Game.

With the starters announced Sunday night, let's take a look at how the rosters in each league may be filled out when the reserves are announced Monday night.

AMERICAN LEAGUE

Starters:

C -- Salvador Perez, Royals

1B -- Miguel Cabrera, Detroit Tigers

2B -- Jose Altuve, Houston Astros

3B -- Josh Donaldson, Toronto Blue Jays

SS -- Alcides Escobar, Royals

OF -- Mike Trout, Los Angeles Angels

OF -- Lorenzo Cain, Royals

OF -- Alex Gordon, Royals

DH -- Nelson Cruz, Seattle Mariners

Altuve isn't the best choice at second base -- that would be Jason Kipnis of the Cleveland Indians -- but he's a very good player, the defending AL batting champ and a key member of a first-place team. Besides Altuve passing Infante, the other key was Cruz holding off Kendrys Morales for the DH spot. Morales is having a solid season, but Cruz and Prince Fielder of the Texas Rangers are having better years. You can nitpick the other four Royals starters, but none of them is a bad choice.

The trouble with filling out the rest of the AL roster is that manager Ned Yost is somewhat limited by the constraints of the rules. The players will vote in nine position player reserves (one at each position), five starting pitchers and three relief pitchers. That leaves Yost with seven manager selections -- five pitchers and just two position players (with the 34th player selected via the final player vote by the fans). Remember, those seven selections must fulfill the requirement that each team has a representative. Cabrera's injury also gives Yost one additional choice.

That potentially leaves Yost in a bind if the players vote in some questionable subs. For example, Kipnis isn't necessarily a lock to get the backup job at second base. The player selections tend to favor players who have hot starts. Last year, for example, Charlie Blackmon made it as a reserve outfielder in the National League thanks to a hot April. Kipnis hit just .218 in April before tearing it up in May and June, so it's possible that Ian Kinsler or Dustin Pedroia (who is currently on the DL but eligible to come off Friday) will win the player vote. That would force Kipnis to take up one of those three "open" slots for position players and would likely squeeze Brian Dozier of the Minnesota Twins, another deserving second baseman, off the roster.

It will also be interesting to see what Yost ultimately does about replacing Cabrera. Fielder was a first baseman on the fan ballot but a DH on the player ballot. He presumably gets the backup nod behind Cruz, but it's possible Yost could use him as the starting first baseman. Albert Pujols and Mark Teixeira are the best bets to win the backup vote; Cabrera's injury now makes it more likely both get on the squad.

Anyway, the nonstarters who would be must additions for me include Kipnis, Baltimore Orioles third baseman Manny Machado, Blue Jays catcher Russell Martin and right fielder Jose Bautista, Oakland Athletics catcher Stephen Vogt and New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner. Hopefully Yost can find a spot for Dozier as well.

Luckily, he should be able to fill out his one-player-per-team rule on the pitching staff without having to make any "bad" choices. Chris Sale can represent the Chicago White Sox, Chris Archer the Tampa Bay Rays and Clay Buchholz the Boston Red Sox. Sale and Archer may be voted in by the players anyway. If Vogt doesn't make it, Sonny Gray is pretty a much a lock to represent the A's (and Scott Kazmir could make it as well). Glen Perkins should be in the bullpen for the Twins if Dozier doesn't make it.

And for the final player ballot? Let's put Alex Rodriguez on it. Also, let's include Carlos Correa. He's probably already the best shortstop in the AL, even if he has played just 25 games in the majors.

NATIONAL LEAGUE

Starters:

C -- Buster Posey, San Francisco Giants

1B -- Paul Goldschmidt, Arizona Diamondbacks

2B -- Dee Gordon, Miami Marlins

3B -- Todd Frazier, Cincinnati Reds

SS -- Jhonny Peralta, St. Louis Cardinals

OF -- Bryce Harper, Washington Nationals

OF -- Giancarlo Stanton, Marlins

OF -- Matt Holliday, Cardinals

Bruce Bochy's job is actually much easier -- and yet more difficult. It's easy in one regard because the lack of the DH spot gives Bochy two extra position player slots to fill that Yost doesn't have, plus Stanton and Holliday are both injured and will have to be replaced. On the other hand, it's more difficult because the National League has about a dozen worthy starting pitchers. They can't all make it.

Replacing Stanton and Holliday shouldn't be too difficult. I'd go with Andrew McCutchen of the Pittsburgh Pirates and rookie Joc Pederson of the Los Angeles Dodgers, with apologies to A.J. Pollock of the Diamondbacks. The NL outfield crop is pretty weak after you get past those three, so that should make it easy for Bochy to make Justin Upton the San Diego Padres' rep and Ryan Braun the Milwaukee Brewers' rep.

The must-have backups for me are Nolan Arenado of the Colorado Rockies, Joe Panik and Brandon Crawford of the Giants, Anthony Rizzo of the Chicago Cubs and Joey Votto of the Reds. Kris Bryant and Matt Carpenter are also worthy selections; we'll see if Bochy can fit four third basemen on his roster (not to mention Justin Turner of the Dodgers, now a regular, who was hitting .313/.388/.564 entering Sunday).

The tough choices for Bochy will be among the starting pitchers. Thirteen NL starters have an ERA under 3.00, and that doesn't include Cole Hamels (the best choice for the Philadelphia Phillies), Clayton Kershaw (5-6, 3.08 ERA, although first in strikeouts) and Madison Bumgarner (8-5, 3.34 ERA). I have to think that Kershaw and Bumgarner are still strong candidates to be two of the five player selections. I'd put them on the team, but that will still lead to some griping from Cardinals fans (Michael Wacha, Lance Lynn and Carlos Martinez may all get squeezed out), Reds fans if Johnny Cueto is left off with the game in Cincinnati, or Pirates fans if A.J. Burnett (7-3, 2.05 ERA) fails to make his first All-Star team.

The final player vote in the NL may end up being five starting pitchers -- or maybe a bunch of infielders (Carpenter, Turner, Kolten Wong, Andrelton Simmons, Troy Tulowitzki). Let the debates begin.
