Liriano In
Francisco Liriano is going to replace Jose Contreras on the AL all-star roster. Too bad he can't start. And one of my favorites, David Eckstein, will back up Edgar Renteria due to Jose Reyes' injury.
Is Contreras still considered an All-Star even if he is replaced in this way on the roster? This does not sound like an injury, just a not-available-to-play situation...
Yea, how would that work? When it comes time to evaluate Manny's HOF candidacy (like there would be any doubt), does he get credit for all the All-Star Games he's skipped?!
