The 2016 All-Star Game rosters were officially announced Tuesday night, though one roster spot for each team remains open. That last spot will be decided by fan voting as part of the appropriately named Final Vote. Here's the ballot.

Unlike previous years, when the Final Vote players would all play the same position, they're mixed this year. That adds a new wrinkle to things. To help you cast an informed vote, here's a look at the 10 players (five per league) included on the Final Vote ballot. Voting closes at 4 p.m. ET on Friday, July 10.

American League

Ian Kinsler, a five-time All-Star, is hitting .290/.348/.496 (125 OPS+) with 16 home runs in 80 games so far this season. Those 16 homers are second to Robinson Cano (19) among all second basemen, and only All-Stars Jose Altuve (4.7) and Cano (3.6) have a higher WAR than Kinsler (3.0). He's been one of the better second baseman in baseball over the last decade and is having his finest season in years.

This has been a great bounceback season for Evan Longoria, who went to three All-Star Games from 2008-10 and none since. He is hitting .278/.329/.521 (128 OPS+) overall with 18 home runs, nearly as many as he hit last year (21) and the year before (22). Longoria is currently eighth among all third basemen with 2.3 WAR.

Dustin Pedroia
2B

If nothing else, Dustin Pedroia is remarkably consistent. He is hitting .306/.368/.445 (113 OPS+) this season, which is right in line with the .291/.356/.441 (114 OPS+) line he put up last year, as well as his career .299/.365/.444 (115 OPS+) batting line. Only Altuve, Cano, and Kinsler have a higher WAR than Pedroia (2.9) among second basemen.

Michael Saunders is having one of the best under-the-radar seasons in all of baseball. Knee problems limited him to nine games last year, and so far this season Saunders owns a .290/.366/.544 (140 OPS+) batting line with 15 home runs. His career high is 19 homers set back in 2012. His 1.9 WAR is seventh among all AL outfielders.

Gosh, what a season by George Springer. His 19 homers are three more than he hit all of last season, and his .263/.360/.481 (125 OPS+) batting line puts him firmly in the All-Star conversation. Add in his top notch defense, and Springer ranks third among all outfielders with 3.5 WAR. Only Mike Trout (5.2) and Jackie Bradley Jr. (3.6) have been better.

National League

With all due respect to All-Star Buster Posey and All-Star snub Brandon Crawford, Brandon Belt has been the best hitter on the first-place Giants this year. He owns a .295/.398/.510 (144 OPS+) batting line with 10 homers and a league-leading 26 doubles. Belt is fourth among all first baseman with 2.5 WAR -- he's behind All-Stars Anthony Rizzo (3.3), Paul Goldschmidt (2.9), and Wil Myers (2.7) -- and second to Rizzo in extra-base hits.

Now that his thumb and back are healthy, Ryan Braun is having a vintage Braun season, hitting .323/.378/.538 (141 OPS+) with 13 homers in 69 games. Those numbers are on par with his MVP-caliber seasons a few years back. Braun is fifth among all outfielders in OPS+ and third among NL outfielders with 2.6 WAR. Oddly enough, the two guys ahead of him (Starling Marte and Christian Yelich) are not All-Stars either.

Jake Lamb
3B

Jake Lamb has emerged as baseball's next great power-hitting third baseman this season. He's hitting .290/.365/.609 (151 OPS+) with 19 homers -- he also leads the league with six triples, surprisingly -- and among all hitters, only David Ortiz (.679) has a higher slugging percentage. Lamb is fifth among third basemen in homers and is seventh with 2.8 WAR.

The Pirates have the best outfield in baseball, and Starling Marte has been the team's best player in 2016, hitting .321/.366/.474 (125 OPS+) with 19 doubles, six homers, and 24 steals to go with his typically excellent defense. Add it all together and you get the NL leader in WAR among outfielders (3.0). Marte is an incredibly gifted all-around player.

Even if you ignore his insane seven-homers-in-six-games start to the season, Trevor Story is hitting .257/.330/.487 with 12 home runs, which is great. Of course, those seven homers in six games happened, so Story's full season batting line is .264/.332/.544 (111 OPS+). His 19 home runs lead all shortstops, and his 1.8 WAR is sixth best among NL shortstops.
