I just realized something. When I was considering why Jeter should be on the All Star team, I never checked something: Podsednik's stats. Look at the pre All Star break stats:

Scott Podsednik
.294 BA, .369 OBA, .344 SLG, 50 R, 83 H, 0 HR, 17 RBI, 44 SB

Derek Jeter
.308 BA, .393 OBA, .452 SLG, 69 R, 105 H, 11 HR, 37 RBI, 10 SB

Hideki Matsui
.320 BA, .384 OBA, .530 SLG, 60 R, 105 H, 14 HR, 70 RBI, 2 SB

As I said, they both should have been on the team. But, jeez...
