    Just voted.

    AL

    1B- P.Konerko, CWS - I disqualify Hafner and Ortiz for being DH's.
    2B- J.Lopez, SEA - second base in the AL is sad
    SS- M.Tejada, BAL - Tejada has been sick and I can't vote for Jeter
    3B- H.Blalock, TEX - time for new faces
    C- V.Martinez, CLE - yes
    OF- J.Gomes, TB; V.Wells, TOR; K.Mench, TEX - looking good.

    NL

    1B- A.Pujols, STL - yes
    2B- T.Walker, CHC - this group of 2B sucks
    SS- F.Lopez, CIN - an equally mediocre group of SS
    3B- M.Ensberg, HOU - he's been the sickest of this group, lots to pick from
    C- M.Barrett, CHC - easy pick
    OF- M.Alou, SF; A.Jones, ATL; A.Soriano, WAS - we have to have Alfonso in the outfield in the All-Star game.

    MLB ERA
    5.00
    AL

    1B - D. Ortiz, BOS
    2B - T. Iguchi, CWS
    SS - M. Tejada, BAL
    3B - E. Chavez, OAK
    C - J. Varitek, BOS
    OF - V. Guerrero, LAA; M. Ramirez, BOS; J. Damon, NYY

    NL

    1B - A. Pujols, STL
    2B - J. Kent, LAD
    SS - E. Renteria, ATL
    3B - C. Jones, ATL
    C - B. McCann, ATL
    OF - C. Beltran, NYM; A. Jones, ATL; C. Lee, MIL

    I don't watch the AL games that often anymore so I was unsure on most. Renteria has been very sursprising so far this season and has been hitting the ball very well. Chipper and Andruw have always been All-Star players every year.

    Out of those 40 guys, only 4 of them are in the AL West.

    lol at Jason Varitek. A Yankee, argaubly, should be on top of the catcher's list, but he's not.

    Then out of fairness to the others you will be Slagathor.

    I actually thought that Victor Martinez would be running away with the AL catcher spot, but I guess his horrible month of May has everyone turned off. Or maybe just because he sucks at throwing out runners.

    Yankees and Red Sox fans are probably the only ones out there voting 30-40 times. I seriously think its a joke how one person can vote more than once.

    Anyways I voted honestly and didnt pick all jays and rangers. Teixeira got my vote (defense and hitting), Write in Rios (Big Numbers), Vernon Wells (Good Year), And Troy Glaus (HR's, Solid defense). Those are the 4 guys on my favorite teams that got my vote and maybe I shouldnt have voted for Tex but i showed a little bias hehe.

    And why has Manny got a lead over Vernon for the starting outfielder, Manny can't hold a candle to ether Vernon or Rios.

    I hope im not the only one voting honestly.
