I added a piece to this post about a truly deserving rookie pitcher - Jaime Garcia. Also, the "every team has a representative" would impact whether a Strasburg or Griffey gets added. But maybe a special "lifetime achievement roster spot" for retiring players could solve some of that. I do agree also on Utley - provided that a truly deserving 2B gets added based on this year's stats. I hate when players get in on reputation and more deserving players don't make the cut, but that happens every year and is part of the fan voting process.....

It allows the manager (if they want) to make a small handful of picks that are not based only on 1/2 season merit. Strasburg should be one of those picks (as should Griffey, in my opinion, and sub-par superstars like Utley). This does not significantly impact the game enough that the "countiness" of it is affected.
