If he had any integrity he would politely decline and give the starting spot to Pujols. He won't but hey, i've always been a dreamer.Yeah, sosa is a joke, but not because he is a cheater - its cause he is having a lousy season.
What I don't understand is why they don't just play 2 games for the all-star game. One for the fans and the others with the players and coaches themselves voting who they think is having a good year. Sure a lot of players will be the same but that's life. Plus even better, the owners will have another sold-out gate to make some money off of. What more could they ask for?
I dont think they need to screw with the all-star game.
Its an exhibition. Yeah fans screw up, but so do managers who take their own guys so they'll "feel good".
Dontrell Willis definitely deserves to be on the team, but I dont know if Baylor will have the balls to take him over more established stars.
Mets have no one who really deserves it.
Benitez on the team would be a joke.
Glavine would be a joke.
Seo would be best, but there is too much pitching competition.
It will probably be someone like Cliff floyd or burnitz, neither of whom deserves it. Hell, take Vance Wilson for all it matters.
All-star game will be screwed up cause of the WS home field change. MLB can't get anything right lately.
