I'm curious to see if it picks Kellum since he's on the DL.

[Dave]

It would be pretty screwy if Kellum isn't chosen, but then again it would also be surprising if the sim was intelligent enough to name him a starter and then name an injury fill-in for him. So there's a pretty real possibility that he's not picked.

I also predict Z replies to this thread, up in arms that you picked Magano at catcher instead of his "awesome" catcher.

My guess is he doesn't get picked, which is kind of a rip off for you.

I probably should have included Robinson. I just saw the 180 at-bats, and wasn't aware he missed 4 weeks due to an injury.

I edited my predictions.

That's my guess as well. Although can't OOTP contracts include a monetary bonus for all star appearances? And in MLB, a guy gets his money if he's named to the all star game but can't participate due to injury, right? That would lead me to believe that OOTP accounts for player injuries when selecting all star teams in the interest of realism, but maybe not.

No, you can give bonuses for games played and major awards (hitter or pitcher) but not all-star appearances.

Yeah, then he's definitely not getting selected. lol
