The reason the ACTUAL All-Star teams are missing a lot of players who SHOULD have been there, but aren't, is because of the requirement that all teams must have a representative on the team, which is very important, by the way, in order for that team's fan base to have at least one reason to tune in, and have at least one player to cheer on in the All Star Game. The result is, a lot of players who have been having All Star caliber seasons, not making it, to make room for a team's "lone representative".
