All Stars and Winning Fantasy Baseball: Relation?

For some of you who don't know, I am a fantasy sports fanatic. I enjoy the crunching of number, and the drafting of players. This is an example from one of my leagues (my team is SPeff Starz, having an unusually bad season for my standards.)

With the All-Stars being announced, I decided to do a study of All-Stars per fantasy team, and whether they really help you win or not.

Team --- # of All Stars

GW III ---------2
S.P. War -------3
Dutchman -------3
Plug'N'Play --- 4
Down Under ---- 4
Hijackers2 ---- 5
CADS -----------5
Se. Pilots -----6
GG_AW ----------7
RedDirt R ------7
Speff Starz --- 8
Young Blood --- 9

This, compared to standings (worst to best again)

Plug'N'Play ----12
S.P. War ------11
Young Blood --10
CADS ----------9
GW 3 ----------8
Speff Starz ----7
Hijackers2 -----6
Se. Pilots ------5
Dutchman -----4
GG_AW --------3
RedDirt R ------2
Down Under ---1

As you can see, no real relation there. Just proves, the real important rounds of the draft are the later ones, as the higher percentage of your roster is accumulated then.
