I feel like they should have just let the deserving vet in so he can get his nod, then decline, then go find another guy again. Same result, less salty vets (which I get - some have AS bonuses or whatever).
I mean, that literally happened to our guy. Freddy isn't going to pitch, so they let Megill in.
But Freddy is still an all-star, who has then declined to participate so they went and got another guy. My understanding is they offered the Philly guy(s), they said they wouldn't pitch, but then instead of saying "ok you're an all-star anyways and we'll go find someone else", they just passed them by. So those guy(s) aren't all-stars just because they weren't available, which yes I think is quite ****.
