I'm not a huge fan of the Met's or their players, but Wright is certainly taking a run at a potential MVP nomination ... Here's a trivia question though; Has anyone ever won an MVP but not STARTED the ASG?
ASG snub for potential MVP?

Jimmy Rollins wasn't an All-Star the year he won the NL MVP (2007).

Kirk Gibson won an MVP and was never an all star.
Not starting wouldn't be that uncommon for an MVP winner. It's been a fan vote since the early 70's (and prior to '56 also) If Jeter can make the team, being an MVP and not making it as a starter wouldn't be out of the question.

Verlander was an All-Star last year, but didn't play in the game.
