The Real All-Stars

The man they call Pizza Cutter over at the great blog Statistically Speaking has an entry up this morning on who he thinks the real All-Stars should be. Now granted, he uses a different selection criteria than the current system, so the results are noticeably different, but not surprisingly, his system favors the players whose performance dictates they should play in the Mid-Summer Classic.

For those of you who have not yet read the article, I'll spoil the fun. Not only do the Pirates have more than one representative, they actually have three. Congrats to the "real" All-Stars: Nate McClouth, Jason Bay, and...Ryan Doumit. Sorry, Mr. Nady, but that NL outfield is just a little too crowded, since this team actually has to include Pat Burrell. (And no, Alfonso Soriano and Fukudome did not make the cut this time.)
