Did they bump somebody? I know you're right about being in the game to participate, but I can't believe they moved so quickly.

You're perfectly fine if a player has one good half season with no prior track record and is elected to start the All-Star game, but in the silly home run derby, you have a problem with it? In the words of Amy Poehler, really? Just to be clear, I think all of the pre-game festivities to All-Star games like the HR derby, the dunk contest and 3 point contest are trivial. Couldn't care less about any of them. So, let me get this straight.
