Why is Matsui starting the All-Star game?

Over Vernon Wells or Garrett Anderson????????

Give me a break. Does anyone else think that we need to start limited voting to Americans only?

JCW412 - I agree that this is a popularity contest but now that the All Star game supposedly "means something"

, I could see a potential problem with the AL having more (for example) Japanese players so all of Japan votes for those guys whether they are deserving or not.

~theJaguar~ - Hard for me to call a team who won the World Series a fluke, especially hard to call Garrett Anderson a fluke. Although maybe you are right, maybe he has been a fluke for 9 years now. Maybe his 828 RBI's in 9 years are a fluke too. I bet the Angels hope the fluke continues.

Well, different strokes for different folks. If I was a pitcher I would rather face Matsui rather than Wells or Anderson.
