Well this will always be a problem as long as fan vote is the way AS teams are composed. People that deserve to be there will be watching on TV, and people who don't deserve to be there will be on the field. They should come up with a mathematical program that measures a player's productivity, and the top producers at the various positions are automatically chosen. That's the only way to make sure the most DESERVING players (and not the fan favorites) will be there. But since the AS game is "for the fans", that will never happen.

doubleM23 Posted June 17, 2003 Share Posted June 17, 2003 Hopefully with players ballots being distributed to get rid of a lot of the players the manager picks baseball is slowly moving away from letting the fans pick the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No nned to spend all that money when computers can do the work for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
