Nomar isn't starting.
Tejada is having a horrible year. A-Rod may be the better player, but Nomar is having not much worse of a year than Rodriguez. The All-Star game is about who's having the best season. If not for a recent slump, Nomar would be (about) at or above Rodriguez in every hitting category except home runs. Still now, Nomar beats A-Rod in average, hits, doubles, triples, RBIs, and stolen bases. A-Rod's OPS is only .035 points higher than Nomar's. And Nomar is on a team that wins.
