The 2014 All-Star ballots are out, but that doesn’t mean every deserving candidate made it to the big list. We take a look at eight players absent from the ballot whose early-season exploits deserve consideration — and maybe even your write-in votes.

Every lineup, every day, as they are made public by the clubs.
