Surprises anywhere?

[redsfan28]

Not considering its a popularity contest. If we were strictly going about performance, then why is Griffey in there.

[Halladay_is_God]

the NL infield is about right, the entire OF just seems so... wrong

and the AL, nothing surprises me there, might as well called it Boston vs the NL.

[Doppelgänger]

Haha Griffey is at the top. Those might be some of the ugliest All Star numbers ever. Good to see Ramirez repping the Marlins though.

[hot_corner_gurl]

Most people just vote based on names and not on whether they really deserve it or not, unfortunately. But for the most part I agree with it...seems pretty right on to me.

[redsfan28]

Question... why is Josh Hamilton not in the top 3 outfielders? He's got 58 RBI's and its not even June!

He doesn't play for Boston or New York

[Doppelgänger]

Because he plays in Texas, sadly.

[Doppelgänger]

Dammit Leo, beat me to it!

[redsfan28]

How pathetic. Where's NY? Oh yeah, they are in the basement and have gotten it handed to them by the Rays of all teams.

[HollywoodLeo]

The Rays, of all teams, are one of the best teams in the majors right now.

That aside, I do agree with your sentiment, but it doesn't negate the reason why Josh Hamilton's not getting many votes.

[browntown653]

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!

THE ENTIRE NL INFIELD IS RIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was ready for Pujols, Wright, and Reyes

[ljshorty89]

Well, don't jump ship yet Brownie. Reyes and Wright are heating up, and they're both within 100,000 votes of the lead. Which means by the time the all star game rolls around, I will have given them the lead PERSONALLY. haha

[Bon Bon]

I agree that it is a popularity contest and the Redsox fans really get out there and vote for there favorites, but it is a shame that a player like Josh Hamilton isn't a starter for the A.L. club.

[love_that_reefer]

With the way the AL lineup is going, the NL might finally beat them. AL lineup is a joke. NL should have Ludwick in the OF and Hamilton for the AL.
