My All-Star Ballot

Pretty self explanatory :)

American League

1B - Davis, Chris

Looking at the top vote getters for first basemen, no one else was even close , vote-wise or stat-wise. I mean look at those home run numbers! Those are  Jose Bautista two years ago like numbers!

2B - Pedroia, Dustin

This one was close between Pedroia and Cano. Neither really had a statistical edge so I went with my boy Dustin.

SS - Peralta, Jhonny

Really couldn't care less here. Peralta had the most votes and decent stats so went with him.

3B - Cabrera, Miguel

I actually was debating Cabrera vs Machado until I saw Cabrera's numbers. Just saying, he is a monster! Just  because he didn't really deserve the MVP last year doesn't mean he doesn't put up colossal numbers year after year. Most people say that Albert Pujols is the player of the generation. I don't disagree, but Cabrera is closer to that title than most people realize. And he still has at least a couple more years of this in him!

C - Mauer, Joe

Again, couldn't care less...Mauer has had a great career though!

DH - Ortiz, David

I swear he wins this every year. At least it seems like it. More power to him!

OF - Bautista, Jose

Still a huge power threat. Don't underestimate Bautista. Could easily hit 35 homers this year.

OF - Jones, Adam

Great all around player. One of the biggest reasons for the Orioles recent success. My final spot came down to him vs teammate Nick Markakis, but Jones' numbers were much more impressive.

OF - Trout, Mike

He's not MIKE TROUT, at least not this year, but he's still one of the best in the game. Has historic potential!

National League

1B - Goldschmidt, Paul

Because a new face deserves the start! And he's pretty good :) And I'm sick of Votto :P

 2B - Utley, Chase

It's called hometown loyalty :P And he actually pretty awesome! Total opinion change since 2010 when he was a failure in the NLCS.

 SS - Tulowitzki, Troy

Well, this is embarrassing...meant to vote for Desi...but he wasn't going to make it anyway. Oh well, Tulo is injured...on another note: VOTE FOR DESMOND FOR THE FINAL VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
 3B - Wright, David

He should definitely play in his hometown. Best third baseman by far.

 C - Posey, Buster

Another one of my personal favorites. Will always vote for him!

 OF - Brown, Domonic

One of the best stories in Philly this year, and definitely deserving of an All-Star Spot. So glad he made it :)
 OF - Gonzalez, Carlos

Never really realized how great of an all around player we was. WOW.

OF - Harper, Bryce
Had to :) Who cares that he missed 30 days. He's still the future of the Nationals!
Well that's that :P
