Let me clarify my point. Most #1s make the majors but are not stars. Strasburg has not only made the majors but he has also has success in a relatively short period of time.
On a side note - I am bummed about having to watch Jeter in the ASG. I think it would make me uncomfortable to be there when I know I didn't earn the spot.
