Corrected entry: When talking with his GM, Lou Brown says he thinks his team has "one or two potential all-stars." 1) He says the team's record is 60-61, which would put them in mid-August, about a month after the all-star game. 2) At least one of the players has to be an all-star, since under MLB rules all teams must be represented on the all-star team.

Corrected entry: If Phelps really wants the Indians to lose, why doesn't she trade or cut anyone having a decent season during their winning streak?
Correction: Considering that the team in comprised of the lowest litter, no other team would risk getting rid of their players for some that are considered the worst players in the game.
If they are having decent seasons, other teams would want them. Even so, she doesn't need to trade them to remove them from the team. She can designate them for assignment, which means either sending them to the minors or cutting them outright. This is actually addressed by the film's intended ending in which she actually supported the team. In the deleted scene she says if she really wanted to stop the team's win streak she could have sent players to the minors.

Correction: Lou Brown could just have been commenting on the overall talent level of 2 or 3 of his players when he says there are a few potential all-stars. He didn't necessarily have to mean the All-Star game that season, just that in the future there are going to be a few players on his team that will turn out to be all-stars.
