Rollins?

I know fans are supposed to support and vote for their players, but seriously Philly fans? Rollins sucks this year. You dont see Braves fans stuffing the box for KJ or FYF

Or until, you know, Escobar becomes better. Right now, he’s 4th in WAR by NL SSs, behind Hanley, Theriot, and Tejada. Last year he was 5th.

It’s not exactly a travesty that the fans aren’t voting Yunel into the game.

I hope nobody takes this the wrong way……

but shouldn’t Chip have the day off during the All Star game? You wouldn’t hear me complaining. Sure, the man is God, but…….do I really need to finish that?

Ethier at 14th is a travastey too. No way in my book.

dude is hitting like .225 this year.

funny to think the fate of the world series hangs on this game.

The same way Kendall even has 1 vote this year- Ballot box stuffing in Milwaukee.

Hardy

Contributed 5 wins above replacement in 2008. His bat hasn’t been very good the first two months of this season, but his glove has made up for it.

Just goes to show how the voting is broken. Escobar should at least be in the top 5 for shortstops. It’s all a popularity contest, that’s why Adrian Gonzalez is so far behind. I mean, is it really a question anymore? Hanley or Rollins? The choice is obvious.
