The second the Yankees signed A-Rod I knew the starting line-ups would be almost all Yankees, even if they we're all under the mendoza line.
The NL however is usually pretty good, nice and equal amongst the teams and people who deserve it.
The fans have blown it though, it all started in 2001 with the AL (Mariner) All Stars.
I think if the MLB is trying this "It Counts" experiment for 2 years they should maybe try a fans have no say experiment, or maybe a fans have a little say thing.
Just writing this I came up with an idea. The on-line voting stuff will remain, but voting doesn't start until the last week of June, or first week of July, and there will only be a few candidates per position based on stats, like top 5 of 6 guys, then the fans can vote for those guys. Because I will truly vomit if Jeter gets the starting job at short when Micheal Young is hitting 100+ points higher than him.
And they also need to get id of the every team gets at least one all star rule.
Maybe a stat saavy person could look up who is the top 5 or 6 guys per position in the AL and NL, and maybe top 10 for the outfield (not just RF,LF,CF)
