History of Don Garber's All Star Commissioner's Picks

2000 Luis Hernandez & Brian McBride 2001 Luis Hernandez & Santino Quaranta 2002 Marco Etcheverry & Joselito Vaca 2003 Mauricio Cienfuegos & Hong Myung-Bo 2004 Freddy Adu & Jason Kreis 2005 Christian Gomez & Taylor Twellman 2006 Alecko Eskandarian & Richard Mulrooney 2007 Cobi Jones & Eddie Pope 2008 Edson Buddle & Dwayne De Rosario 2009 Kyle Beckerman & Javier Morales 2010 Brian Ching & Jaime Moreno Players in bold = home team selections. Of the non-home team selections, Quaranta/Vaca were young stars perfect for this kind of showcase. Jones/Pope in 2007 were both in their final seasons. In 2004, Garber mentioned pairing Adu/Kreis as a "past and future" thing. 2006 featured two players coming back from injuries. Then there's Luis Hernandez, one of Garber's self-professed biggest mistakes. He certainly tried to get his money's worth out of that multi-million dollar transfer, the only player to be selected twice in these 11 years.
