Expand the All-Star game?

It would be cool to see fastest baserunner, best outfielder arm, best outfielder range, best catcher's arm, quickest doubleplay and stuff like that.

But everyone will be scared to get hurt.

Maybe its just me, but watching that would be horrible. Who cares who is the fastest base runner? That would be like the NBA lining up a group of guys and seeing who has the best outlet pass....who really cares? The great think about base running, arm strength or double plays are that they’re on display and just happen in the actual flow of a game......trying to simulate any of that for the sakes of a skills competition would be extremely lame. At least the HR Derby gets people excited. I don't see the excitement factor in watching guys run around bases just to be doing it.
