    You're right that it's a moot discussion, which makes the discussion of why it's moot another moot discussion.

    Shall we discuss why?

    I hope you realize that last post was meant purely as a joke.

    Those going to the 2007 All Star Game should be for those who are having a good season in 2007. Track record from previous seasons is irrelevant.

    It's a moot argument since both are going, but I thought I'd throw that out there.
    I agree completely and track record makes no sense for an annual honor.

    Re: CY Makes the final cut

    I'm just curious, how come Young was even allowed to play when he is serving a suspension? Is it because it was an "exhibition" game even though "this time it counts?" I know this suspension was for "fighting", but what if a player was suspended for violating the substance abuse policy and was voted in. Would he have played, too? Is there a distinction between the types of suspensions that would allow player to play in the ASG? What if it were the playoffs?

    I'm not at all saying Young didn't deserve to be there because he did. I'm just confused how a suspended player is allowed to play.

    Good question......maybe because the ASG is outside of the regular season, and suspensions are for reg. season games ? The Season effectively comes to a stop or pause for 3 days, and I would think that everything associated with it stops/pauses as well.

    As far as substance abuse goes, I think that's very different. Cheating is on another level for punishment, as I imagine gambling would be. I think you bring up a good point when asking if there is a disctiction between infractions, and IMO there is a huge difference. Maybe it would be a great idea for MLB to put together some sort of tier system 1-5 ( 5 being worst ) showing just how bad certain infractions are and thus letting players know what will happen should they violate the rules in various ways ???

    This would also help when handing down suspensions, meaning a level 2 infraction would automatically constitute a 4 game suspension, appeal allowed.........but a level 5 infraction ( gambling on baseball ) is a lifetime ban, no appeal for 5 years ......or something
