The Phillies still pay plenty of charity cases.  Most notably David Bell.

The Phillies still pay plenty of charity cases.  Most notably David Bell.

The number of charity cases on the Phils' 25 man roster outweighs the guys who are pulling their weight by about a 4 to 1 margin.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So, in conclusion, they might as well pay some cripples too.

I can't argue with too many of these choices.  Glad to see some new names on the list.

[BigEd76]

Notable names missing:

Schilling, Mussina, Griffey Jr, Bonds, Piazza, Beckett

[Geowhizzer]

Is that Mark Redman on the AL Team?  The 5-4, 5.59 ERA Redman?

Just found one to argue with.  That's just nuts.  Is he the best way to get a Royal on the roster?  Couldn't they just let KC send one to the AAA game?

Schilling or Mussina should be there instead.

Kasmir is the lone Devil Ray, but you can argue for him (9-5, 3.59), but it's ridiculous that Redman is on the team.  He should come up with some "injury" to avoid the shame of it all.

And, dang, you could really pick ANY of the five AL final guys.

[Rome]

The rule that states that each team must have a representative is archaic and stupid.

That said, I think it's funny that Redman made the team because of it.  He could very well be the worst All-Star in history.

Mike Williams would be my second choice.

Yankees and Red Sox buy more teenage Latinos, Phillies nowhere to be found
