It might also help with some of the weird choices the AI makes, so that your league is actually using its strongest team instead of a someone random, mostly decent team. Here is what I am thinking. - The AI chooses 5 eligible players from each position that it thinks are the best. - Probably two picks from the pitchers. - Managers then get the day to vote on who they think is the best. - The top vote getters are on the starting lineup of All-Star team. - The rest of the slots are then filled in using normal AI rules (and team minimums if they exist).

There was another guy (not on my team) who was clearly better. If we could vote, we would also lead to more chat on the league forms leading up to the game. More interaction and publicizing player. Maybe even some analysis in some leagues. I think it could be a lot of fun.
