    Default MLB All-Star Voting

    Anyone else seeing a problem with letting the fans vote for the starters?
    How can 8 of 9 starting spots in the AL currently be Royals (no offense Royals but 8 of 9 is crazy). The current leader at 2nd base, Infante, is batting just over .200

    Thoughts?

    Indeed I do. I have voted my 35 times, and even though they are smoking hot, not all of my choices are my Toronto Blue Jays! I think it will be ridiculous if the starting line up is as the fans have voted thus far (no offense KC -- I do like your team a lot!).

    Totally agree, Jeff!

    And I'll also say that the online only thing bums me out. Punching those cards at the ballpark has been a tradition for us for many years.

    I can't stand that it is all online now! Like Mel, my sister and I would do our ballots when we are at our Sunday Phillies games.

    I have always disliked that the fans solely choose the starting position players, because it ends up being more about popularity and marketing rather than skill.

    I always enjoyed voting when at O's games or visiting other stadiums. I do not like that it is just online. There are actually people in this day and age like my Mom who still do not have a computer or Internet so they lose out.
