No 1B on Prospects All-Star teams?

I don't know much about how the minor leagues work, but I imagine they still use first basemen in the All-Star game. If there is a way to watch this game, I don't see it, so I cannot confirm that it matters, but when the Prospects rosters are listed, they do not show the first basemen on the team.

I am going to add that in season 2, this error did not happen (the Prospects team rosters displayed 1B players).

There was likely someone elected as a 1B but whose primary position on their current team has, by the time the rosters were published, switched to another position (as they were qualified at multiple positions). I think in the display you see their current, primary position, whereas on the ballot they'd have been a 1B based on what their experience to-date was when the ballot was generated.

Yeah I believe Nick Yorke has 1B as his real primary position but Boston will try to play him in other positions due to Casas.

Hey, great, thanks for the response, and glad to hear that it's not a bug!
