Baker: Selecting an MLL All Star Roster

Chesapeake Bayhawks v Boston Cannons

Since this is my All Star Team, I made it bigger than 40 players with four face off specialists and add SSDM!  Make it fun for the players and the fans.  I also want to give a nod to some guys that have been having solid years.

Attack:  Couple of surprises here

Will Manny

Rob Pannell

Kieran McArdle

Ben Rubeor-Makes plays when the Bayhawks need them.

Marcus Holman

Matt Gibson-Key cog in the Lizard’s offense.

Jordan Wolf

David Emala- He is having a great year and needs to be an All Star.

Mike Bocklett- I went with him over Law due to injury.

Tommy Palasek-Does not get enough credit.

Defense

Chad Wiedmaier-Helped bring physicality back to Boston defense.

Scott Ratliff-He is captain for a reason.

Mitch Belisle-He’s the quintessential all pro with a solid no nonsense approach to the game.

Tucker Durkin-Faced with the choice of facing him or locked in a broom closet with wolverine on red bull go with the wolverine. The wolverine does not have a stick.

Joel White

Mike Manley

Dillon Roy

Kyle Hartzell

Joe Fletcher

Kyle Sweeney

Brian Karalunas

Michael Ehrhardt

Face Off:  Show some love for the guys that determine possession

Greg Gurenlian

Brendan Fowler

Anthony Kelly

Chris Mattes-Was a tie between Chris and Craig Bunker, but Chris has better face off % just on a team with a losing record

Goalie:  Couple of new faces and I will take some grief for it

Drew Adams

Tyler Fiorito-He deserves it after the year he has been having

Brett Queener

Pierce Basset-Just like Fiorito, but on team with losing record.

Middies:  Not a lot of surprises here

Paul Rabil

Justin Turri

Jeremy Sieverts

Peter Baum

Drew Snider

Tom Schreiber

JoJo Marasco

Dave Lawson

Jordan MacIntosh

Max Seibald

Matt Abbott

John Ranagan

SSDM:  Seriously these guys are important to their team’s success

Josh Hawkins-Does not get enough credit for on ball defense.

Jovan Miller-He is getting it done for two different teams this year.

Kevin Unterstein-Gets overlooked in New York’s star laden roster. Even picks up a pole when needed.

Steve DeNapoli-Don’t sleep on him or he will burn you.
