All Star Rosters are a joke

How can they get all these 2 month flash in the pans in the game, but not Votto??
68 players and they still can't get it right. There might be more guys that are not within a mile of being an all star since the beginning of time.
When does Selig get the hell out of baseball??

Arthur Rhodes, nothing I hate more than some stiff who never has been, or never will be an all star type player who gets rewarded for having a couple of flukey months.
and Ty Wigginton, holy shit
exactly. its an all star game! all these guys are professionals, capable of putting on a show no matter who is playing. I am in favor of new players playing that might not have the stats because they might bring something new to the entertainment and competition. I.E. A rookie having a career day in his debut. Sometimes the gravity of the moment can induce an average, run of the mill ball player to produce entertaining baseball. As far as I am concerned, the only incentive I have towards judging these selections is whether the players will put on a good show for me and as a bettor I will appreciate the variance these new players will add to the handicapping of this game.
Go NL!
First of all, the fans do the voting, there is your problem. Selig can't do anything about how people vote. Yes, managers pick the pitchers, and in the NL, there are 13 pitchers w/ era's under 3.00. So that is a tough one for the manager to pick. I think the players also vote in one person as well. So if someone is left off, you can blame a little of that on the players. But, it is an All-Star game, and Selig is an idiot for making the winner getting home field in the World Series.
