It's all speculation since we can't see the players that were included in the ASG. Maybe the OP can throw up the stats of the other 1Bs on the team. But as noted, it's certainly quite possible that the player noted isn't one of the top 13 WAR guys. A projection of 4.4 WAR for the season may not be "All-Star caliber". Of course, to extrapolate from the OP's point, that player would almost certainly end up in a real ASG because fans don't give a hoot about doubles and defense.
