The Yanks' Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez were No. 1 at shortstop and third base, respectively.Jason Varitek gave the Red Sox another top vote-getter at catcher."http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3414740Comment too long.

Nah, Ortiz deserves it, and Manny deserves it because he's so fun to watch. I don't think Youkilis, Pedroia, Varitek, Rodriguez, and Jeter deserve it though.I didn't even know All-Star voting started yet
allstar game is a popularity contest more than it's about skillful players.bandwagon fans vote online over and over and overi just don't give a shit
>>119702>YoukilisHe deserves is without a doubt. Varitek as the starting catcher is a joke. Even as a Soxfag I didn't vote for him.
its obviously gonna have plenty of yanks cuz its at yankee stadium, i think francona tried to bring on alot of red sox in 2005 but was kinda hindered by every team needing one representative.
5 Red Sox starters in the Bronx? LULZ.
>>119705MLB needs to get rid of fan voting.
Ortiz, Ramirez, Jeter, Pedroia and Varitek don't deserve it.
>>119715>Ortiz.You're an idiot.
>>119712I'll either agree or disagree with that statement depending on if Cliff Lee is selected for the All-Star Game or not
>>119723fans have no say on pitchers...
>>119723Fans dont vote on the pitchers.
>>119719no uDavid Ortiz .247 and 12 HR OPS+ of 123Hideki Matsui .331 and 6 HR OPS+ of 148
by the way, Ichiro and Vladimir Guerrero were only non-Sox/Yanks to be selected.
>>119728No shit. They need to get rid of all fan voting.
Jesus Christ, the Yankees are in last place and yet they are getting all star votes?It's like when Shaq made the all star game a few years back despite being injured most of the season.Fuck fan voting. You are all idiots.
>>119733Voting isn't over yet.
>>119736I mean that lead
>>119728>>119729That's the point. If Cliff is selected, I'll support fan voting, but if he's not I'll support the notion of it being done away with.
>>119738I wish there were more I'm sick of Yankees/Red Sox
Robinson Cano is second in voting among 2bs. WTF!!!?
I say we flood the ballots with votes for Kansas City players. Not like it'd be the first time that ever happened.
>>119772Ever see his shitty stats?
>>119773why not?
>>119772Defense.
>>119786Well /sp/ doesn't really have that many users, and more than half of them won't care.
Well ain't that a bitch! I say 4chan does something good for once and bring justice to the world by voting for the players who actually deserve to be in the all star game, hows that sound? No? Fine have your little Yankees/Boston Vs. Mets/Dodgers game then
baseball sucks.that's why.
This is just the early voting faggots, no need to get all butthurt
