Griffey pulls out - room for Biggio?

[Furious Jam]

I can't believe that Larkin can get a spot on sentiment (when he's not even retiring!), but Biggio can't get in when he's having a great year and the game's in the city where he's played forever.

At his request, they cancelled that.

I truly hope they replace Griffey with Beltran who deserves to be in that All-Star game.

Pretty sure they were just referring to the ASG. I doubt he'd be the first, second, or even third one they'd ask to be in the derby.

Pujols, Dunn, Drew, and even Lowell are more likely candidates for the derby.

Beltran gets NL spot from Griffey.
