Amidst the controversy of the Japanese fans stuffing the ballot box to get Hideki Matsui into the starting lineup(American fans have been doing it for years, why shouldn't they have the chance??) and the managers picking thier own players (another tradition)...

Mike Williams made the all-star team with an ERA of 6.29 and a record of 0-3.

I understand that the Pirates had to have a representative--this was the best they had to offer?

Aramis Ramirez is hitting .280 with 52 RBI. Even Kenny Lofton would be easier to understand than Mike Williams.

Do we really need a representative from every team if this is the best the team has to offer?
