   with the allstar game a few weeks away voting is coming to an end. Did you go for the obvious or did you vote for guys who are under the radar?

   If All Stars are selected by what you've done in the first half of the year, then the SF Giants Vogelsong deserves it.  With Boche managing, I wonder if the Giants will get three pitchers on the team.  Lincecum, Wilson and Vogelsong.

   cain over wilson but I'm not a wilson fan. I think krimbal from atlanta and hanarahn from the pirates deserve it more, maybe storen to.

   My American League All Stars:
   catcher - Avila
   1st - Gonzalez
   2nd - Cano
   SS - Peralta
   3B - Rodriguez
   OF - Bautista
   OF - Granderson
   OF - Ellsbury
   
   It looks like Russell Martin and Derek Jeter will be the top vote-getters for catcher and shortstop, respectively, and that's a shame. Alex Avila is better than Russell Martin in every aspect of the game. He hits for a much higher average with more power, and he's better defensively with a higher caught stealing percentage. Derek Jeter has had a great career, but he was one of the worst shortstops in the league this season even before he got injured. He has only 12 extra-base hits this season, and his sloth-like reflexes at shortstop have cost the Yankees wins.
