A Sea Of Red

I Must start this post by saying that I am a lifelong San Diego Padres fan, and proud of it. However, I always think the Fan vote for the MLB All-Star game is a JOKE. I just have a great case for one of my team's best this year. Here is the current vote total for the NL:

1st Base
RANK PLAYER NAME NL TEAM TOTAL VOTES
1. Fielder, P. Brewers 899,997
2. Pujols, A. Cardinals 876,849
3. Garciaparra, N. Dodgers 801,419
4. Lee, D. Cubs 539,563
5. Delgado, C. Mets 488,392

Here is the Current top 5 based on Offensive state (Sorted by average). Screwed this up a minute ago. Here is the correct top 5.


Player TEAM POS G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI TB BB SO SB CS OBP SLG AVG
1. D Lee CHC 1B 66 257 37 91 25 1 6 39 136 30 55 3 4 .428 .529 .354
2. D Young WSH 1B 66 226 32 76 19 0 7 35 116 21 36 0 0 .394 .513 .336
3. T Helton COL 1B 69 246 32 81 17 2 6 37 120 54 30 0 1 .447 .488 .329
4. A Pujols STL 1B 69 258 42 79 14 0 16 47 141 39 32 1 3 .399 .547 .306
5. A Gonzalez SD 1B 71 285 42 84 21 2 14 51 151 30 61 0 0 .362 .530 .295

I know he plays in San Diego, but Adrian Gonzales is having an All-Star Year. This makes me mad!

all all-star games are a joke...popularity contest. but i understand why it is that way.

Wrestling=sweaty men in spandex rolling around on the floor together

sounds like someone has a fear of intimacy

Intimacy??!!!

I guess your attention span is SHORT too?!?!?!?
Don't get me wrong I can't wait for NFl, but baseball will get me through the wasteland that's in the way!

I voted for prince fielder because he has some of the best stats across the board. Fielder's batting average in .289, Gonzalez is .295 - so the difference is marginal. Fielder nearly has 26 homeruns, nearly double that of Gonzalez at 14. Fielder also has 59 RBI while Gonzalez has 51.

how about carlos pena of tampa bay. 6th in the mlb in homeruns at 17, 44 RBI, .296 BA, .391 OBP, .640 SLG, 1.031 OPS. Put this guy n a good team, and he'd be talked about a lot.
