My All-Star Ballot

Below is my selections for the All-Star Game.  I will freely admit that I am biased in some of my selections.  In the National League, I tend to favor the Brewers (surprised?).  In the American League, I tend to favor anybody who is not on the Yankees.  This year was hard for me, because I have not been keeping up as well as I normally do.  I did not look at anybody’s stats before choosing.  I went by feel and by what I remember hearing about them this year.

I feel that the Brewers that I selected are having great years.  First base is always a tight race.  Even before Pujols was injured, I thought Fielder was having a better year.  He has been clutch for the Brewers, hitting many of his home runs to tie the game or take the lead.  I can’t think of any other catcher I would rather have than Lucroy.   Posey is right up there, but since he is out, this was an easy one for me.  Weeks is having a good year again, and I just don’t see any other 2nd basemen out-performing him.  Braun was a no-brainer.  Hart started on the DL, and then had a slow start.  But he has started producing like he is able to.

Here are my choices:
