It seems we half-agree and half disagree.
I guess it depends on what criteria you use for selecting All-Stars. I think the goal is to have the best players, and as I said, there are at least 10 pitchers better than Vogelsong that are more deserving, regardless of what Vogel's stats say. This is a perfect example of stats being very deceptive
And it is absurd to say that Vogelsong is MORE deserving than Timmy and Matt. If you had to choose pitchers for your own team, I am 100% sure that even you would take the first two guys and not even give Vogelsong a thought..Vogelsong was taken on his stats alone and his stats are fraudulent. Besides, he would not have made the team if Bochy wasn't the manager due to his light workload.
