Now Jeter’s an All-Star starter?
A bitter Red Sux or NY Mut fan. Eat your heart out. Bwaahahaha ...

Some guys get to the all star game on name recognition alone.

It should be Peralta in the All Star Game, not Jeter.

Baseball’s all star game is a total joke. Has been since the “fans” got to choose the players. It is just who is the most famous. Guys having great years are left off while old timers having bad years get voted in, IE, Jeter here. He has not been an all star for two years.

Which brings us to whether your opinion is that the All-Star Game, as often enough it does become, is something of a lifetime achievement award. Jeter isn’t the first player who’s going to the starting lineup as a legacy candidate. Reality check: Jeter got the votes because of what he’s been, not who he is now. Kallman answers his own question (or rant) right here. It wouldn't be the first time nor will it be the last ... /shrug
It just is what it is. Boo-Hoo ... there are far more pressing issues within MLB than whether a legacy player gets to start on the All-Star team in the waning year(s) of his career, such as the looming Hall of Fame consideration for recent 'juicers' (of which Jeter is NOT!)

It's called the All-STAR Game for a reason. It's about the STARS of baseball. There is nothing new here. Willie Mays was an All-Star in 1973 batting .211.

Looks like Jeter has taken himself out of the all star line up. (classy move) Peralta may get in after all.
