		<description>making an all-star game doesn&#039;t make you an all-star player. reyes, wright, and kazmir are perennial all-star. top of mlb talent.

uggla? 1 all-star game. not of their level
street? 0 all-star games
haren? 1 all-star game/season. lots of hype though
liriano was developed by the giants not the twins

you names guys from 10 years ago.

as i said you have a couple of teams. there are 30 teams. maybe 5 have produced better in the last 5 years</description>

		<description>wow.. you are crazy.... how did I find 1 or 2???

Phillies are 1.. you didn&#039;t argue that one... Clevenad is 2.. Hafner, Victor Martinez, Hafner, Carmona, and CC Sabitha... jeez that&#039;s what 5???

Rockies? Are you crazy? Kazmir has made at one game, and he counts? But Atkins and Fuentes (whose made it twice) doesn&#039;t? I also frogot the runner up to the MVP Matt Holiday.. and Tulowitky is a real talent but buried in the NL.. so that&#039;s a huge 3...

Evenwithout Hanley that&#039;s 3 for the Marlins in Cabrera, Willis, and Uggla.. I&#039;m pretty sure one of Olsen or Josh Johnson made the game... so that&#039;s 4....

Santana was what a rule V pick? How can you not give them Credit for those? Liriano was a throw in as well..   Santana&#039;s first ML game was with the Twins.. they were the ones who found him and beleived in him... that&#039;s 5...

Oakland has at least two.. Haren started the game last year.. Street has made it as well.. and I&#039;m pretty sure there was a 5 year period when Street, Zito, Mulder, Tejada and Chavez made all the star game together..

Now that I&#039;ve had time to look at this.. I even found a few more:

The Orioles.. Markakis, Berdard, BJ Ryan.. and we all know John Maine.. and by your logic he&#039;s an orioles prospect

The Brewers have 2 big ones in Prince and Ryan Bruyan, and have probably had a 3rd all star to go with them in the past 5 years.. Sheets, Turnbow, etc..

The Sox.. Papelbon, Pedoria, Youkillis.. and soon to be Ellsbury, Bucholtz, and by your logic they get Hanley as well..

Face it.. producing 3 all star caliber players in a 5 year span is NOT THAT IMPRESSIVE</description>

		<description>&quot;Mini-Manny.&quot;  That&#039;s funny.  Comedy gold.

Yeah, Victor Diaz is just like a smaller version of Manny Ramirez, except without all of the talent.</description>

		<description>marlins: hanley is a red sox prospect

twins: santana was an astros prospect. liriano a giants prospect

rockies: those are not all-star. they&#039;re decent guys who have made the team once

blue jays: wells has been playing for almost 10 years. halladay even longer

oakland: none of those are in the last 5 years (not the all-stars)

so you found 1 or 2. in other words, there are few teams that have done it. very few.</description>

		<description>Hmm.. let see. Phillies (Utley, Howard, Hammels, and maybe Rollins.. dont&#039; know when his rookie year was)

Marlins - Willis, Cabrera, Hanley Ramirez  (dont know if he made the game yet, no denying he&#039;s all star talent), toss in Ugla to that mix who did make the all star game so that&#039;s 4 

(there&#039;s two teams in our own division)

Twins - Mauer, Monreu, Johan, and I think Liriano made it the one year before his shoulder blew..

Rockies -  Francis, Atkins, Fuentes to go along with Helton every year

Blue Jays - Hallady, Rios, Veron Wells, and if Kazmir somehow applies to the Mets then Chris Carpentner does to the Jays as well

Oakland for fun.. pick a 5 year gap that includes any combination of Giambi, Tejada, Chavez, Hudson, Zito, Mulder and more recently Swisher, Haren, and Street...

So there&#039;s 6 teams off the top of my head..

Cleveland probably counts too (CC, Seizmore, Victor Martinez, Hafner)

3 all star players in 5 years is not such an un common feat</description>
