Who should represent the Astros in All Star Game?

Considering the Astros have been near the bottom of the central division standings and have been below .500 all season, i suspect the Astros will only get 1 representative to the All Star team.  I posted a number of players to choose from, along with their current stats.  Everyone i've heard from says, Tejada is the choice for the team, but i'm not so sure thats who i'd pick.  Tejada leads the team with a .333 batting average, which has steadily been on the decline, but only has a .364 OBP which is tied for 2nd on the team with Bourn.  Tejada is always a fast starter and finishes poorly, and in his age, his defense is below average.  If I could pick anyone for the Astros who i think deserves to be on the team, i'd take Pence or Wandy.  Pence has a higher OBP than Tejada, more home runs and has stolen 8 bases.  His defense is way better also.  He has played a very good right field this year, and is near the top in outfield assist.  I also believe Wandy would be a better selection than Tejada also.  Wandy's era has just been above 3.00 recently, but it was in the 1's and 2's for most of the year.  Wandy has been the Astros best starter, and at some points in the year has looked like one of the most dominant pitchers in the NL.  Along with his ERA, his K/BB ratio is pretty good also.  So while i'm sure most people will think that Tejada is the choice for the all star team, i hope the NL manager takes a look at some of the other Astros seasons before making his selection.

I hate the rule that every team has to have a representative. I also hate the fan voting thing. Since THIS ONE COUNTS and all. The Players and coaches should select the BEST players.
