Who are the AL All Star pitchers?

Here is a list (incomplete) of AL Starting pitchers who have started 14+ games and thrown 90+ innings. About half of the AL All Star pitching staff should come from this group, maybe 6 or 7 pitchers total from this group of 18. Here is the relevant information for determining which of these pitchers are All Star worthy, including starts, innings, ER, HR, K and BB.

Pitcher K	16	2	103 1/3	90	39	7	34	124	3	2	5	3.40	1.23	3.65
Pitcher L	16	0	108 1/3	116	41	11	23	76	1	1	1	3.41	1.29	3.30
Pitcher M	15	1	98 1/3	89	38	7	32	94	3	1	0	3.48	1.26	2.94
Pitcher N	16	2	109	88	43	9	31	78	6	0	4	3.55	1.15	2.52

Pitcher P	15	1	98 1/3	93	40	14	29	57	4	1	2	3.66	1.28	1.97
Pitcher Q	15	0	94	82	41	13	47	92	6	0	9	3.93	1.44	1.96
Pitcher R	15	2	94 2/3	93	44	6	36	50	9	0	3	4.18	1.46	1.39

It doesn't take a lot of careful examination of that list to see that the bottom half dozen really can't make a legitimate claim to a spot. There are six pitchers with ERAs under 3.00 and WHIPs under 1.3. There are several more with ERAs in the 2.9-3.4 range, with more than 6 innings per start. If anyone can make a good argument for pitcher N-R, I'd love to hear it, because I don't see one.

Here's the same list, this time with the names filled in.

There are some people in the Boston media, and in the Red Sox nation fanbase, who have been banging the drum for Tim Wakefield to make the All Star team. And it's easy to see that it would be a great storyline - he's got the longest tenure of anyone on the roster, has pitched very well on occasion. But you can't make a case that Tim Wakefield, the pitcher, should be an American League All Star this year. There's not one pitcher on the list that you can plausibly argue is less worthy of going, based on pitching performance.
