As I mentioned a moment ago, it seemed to be a bigger deal at the time that I discovered it. Now, not so much, especially after reading your post.
Thanks for the help and the explanation.

I put it similar to electing a player who's had a really bad season getting elected.
If you don't want that, you can always turn down the influence of popularity in the All-Star voting. Certainly if the votes are more based on their play, then someone who hasn't played will have a tough time making it.
