** All Star Rosters and Final Vote Candidates **

longoria needs to work on his changeup and slapshotbefore hes gonna make it to the all Rays game, i mean all star game. 

hes got a good knuckle ball tho.

duk-

I'm not saying that he should start over A-Rod, but he has similar numbers and a much better glove. He has 34 less at-bats than Dye and has only 3 less HR's and the same amount of RBI's. This kid seems like the run-away ROY, and is a, if the not THE leader for the gold glove. Just because he is a rookie shouldn't count against him. This kid has NO Major League experience coming into this year and is a finalist for the All-Star team. If the Rays weren't cheap at the beggining at the year and tried avoiding arbitration, Longoria would be a walk-away choice. He has the power numbers and is the gold glove leader. There shouldn't be any other choice.

How do Derek Jeter and David Ortiz earn starting spots???!!!

Ortiz hasn't played in weeks and Jeter hasn't...well..he hasn't done anything!!

This is clearly a popularity contest...It's not about who the best baseball players are anymore...It's about what their name is.

All All-Star games are a pop contest.  C'mon, Tek Starting at catcher, and earlier everyone were saying it's because he's a better teammate, not better player this year than A..J.  Yeah it's a pop contest from the begin.  The rest is just the obvious stellar players in the first half i.e. Hamilton, Kinsler(who should start), Lincecom, etc. . . . .  You know what I mean.  You're right, some guys shouldn't be starting, but you can't close down the Bronx with Jeter on the bench.lol.
