Saw this on baseball tonight and was wondering what you guys think. Statistically, Jeter falls short of being an all-star. Arod and Nomar are locks and from a purely statistical perspective, Omar should be the third shortstop since he's having a monster year and plays better defense than Jeter. (This is all assuming there will only be 3 shortstops) Should Jeter get the edge because he's been better over his career and that it might be just a fluke half season for Omar? Not to mention Tejada should be in the discussion also. Keep in mind that this is not a discussino on who will make the all star team, this is about who SHOULD make the all star team. Jeter will undoubtedly make it since Torre is picking the reserves.

Sounds to me like a case of the spoils system!

I don't think Jeter is an All Star, but he's a VERY good player and no doubt will be later on.
