The Los Angeles Angels have underachieved so far this season, but they’re never short of star power. These five players are the Angels most worthy of consideration for the Midsummer Classic.

5. LHP Cesar Ramos

2-0, 2.50 ERA Ramos isn't flashy, but he's effective. He's one of the better lefty specialists in the game, and there's something to be said about that. If you're able to dominate in your role, you deserve to be recognized. That's what the All-Star game is all about.

.272 average, 18 HRs, 34 RBIs Pujols has experienced a resurgence this season as he's starting to hit for more power again. His average isn't quite what it used to be, but for the sake of the game, Pujols and the star power that comes with him need to be in Cincinnati for the All-Star Game.

2-2, 2.42 ERA, 19 of 21 save conversions Street has been an elite closer in MLB for most of his career, and he's putting together another special season in 2015. He's about as dependable as they come from the closer role, so he needs to be recognized this July.

4-3, 2.59 ERA, 69 strikeouts Last season, the Angels lacking an ace is what led them to being swept out of the first round of the playoffs despite finishing the regular season with baseball's best record. This season, they've had Santiago step up as an ace, and even though he doesn't have the cache of other established aces, he deserves just as much recognition.

.297 average, 18 HRs, 39 RBI, 8 steals Trout is on pace for another great season before the age of 25, and he just keeps impressing more and more. His speed hasn't been as apparent, but his power numbers are looking better. It's just another notch on the belt of one of the greatest players currently in baseball.
