Hot Stove Coal: Former All-Star Acquisitions Aplenty in AL East

There have been a lot of former All-Stars acquired by the five teams in the American League East. Here's a look at all those All Stars with one player per team I was surprised wasn't in the Summer Classic (or at least the best player acquired not to make an All-Star Team).

Toronto Blue Jays: Chad Cordero
Surprise: Octavio Dotel

Tampa Bay Rays: Manny Ramriez and Johnny Damon
Surprise: Kyle Farnsworth

Baltimore Orioles: Derrek Lee and J.J. Hardy
Surprise: Mark Reynolds

Boston Red Sox: Bobby Jenks, Carl Crawford, and Adrian Gonzalez
Surprise: Dan Wheeler

New York Yankees: Andruw Jones, Rafael Soriano, Russell Martin, and Mark Prior
Surprise: Pedro Feliciano

The Yankees have the most former All Stars acquired but the Red Sox have the players who have been All Stars most recently. It doesn't really say anything about the teams' offseasons but just a general overview of the starpower assembled this off-season in the American League East.
