David Wright and Carlos Beltran were voted in to the All-Star Game as starters by fans around MLB, while Johan Santana and Francisco Rodriguez were selected by fellow players.

The four players going to the All-Star Game for the third-place Mets are the most for any team in the National League.

Santana told reporters that he will pitch in the All-Star Game if asked by Phillies manager Charlie Manuel, pointing out that the day the game is played will technically be the day he throws a bullpen session between starts.

David Wright said, regarding the game, according to the Daily News

“It’s obviously an incredible honor to be an All-Star… But… the All-Star Game is not something I’m focused on right now.  I’ll go there.  I’ll enjoy it.  I’ll have a good time.  And I’ll hopefully have some good experiences.  When it’s all said and done, we have to find a way to fix what’s going on here and turn this thing around.”

Speaking as a Mets fan…
