June 16, 201511 yr Travesty. Manfred better start considering changing the voting process. It's clearly a problem, and yes I understand Aoki is having a good season.
June 16, 201511 yr Author Aoki should probably be in but not over Stanton obviously. Let him in as a reserve.
June 16, 201511 yr Fuck-ing Bull-shit *clap clap clapclapclap* Fuck-ing Bull-shit *clap clap clapclapclap* Fuck-ing Bull-shit *clap clap clapclapclap* [You get the idea]
June 16, 201511 yr Fans should not vote for the all star game. Most fans are homers (nothing wrong with that) and they are too emotionally vested into their team to vote based on merit. Also, with all of the technology today I wouldn't be surprised to find out that some nerdy tech guy has created a voting algorithm to help his favorite players get selected.
June 16, 201511 yr To be honest, I'm kinda more pissed that Matt Holiday is pretty much guaranteed a spot at this point. He's second in the voting by a good margin in both directions. Mostly pissed because of this fact: Stanton HR: 23 Holliday RBI: 26
June 16, 201511 yr All you need to have is 2 email accounts. Vote 35 times with 1, then 35 with the other. Then go back with the first one, then repeat the same process... There's really no limits, we can vote all we want. Lets make G a starter guys, lets go!
June 16, 201511 yr Not sure how you could fix the voting process if you leave it up to the players, biases will also be present, just not as exaggerated as fan voting.
June 16, 201511 yr Author Not sure how you could fix the voting process if you leave it up to the players, biases will also be present, just not as exaggerated as fan voting. Players won't be as bias as fans, not even close.
June 16, 201511 yr Author You could have the fans vote for the top 3 and the players/manager chose the starter from those options.
June 16, 201511 yr Author You could have the fans vote for the top 3 and the players/manager chose the starter from those options. Not a bad idea, and top 5 for OF I guess?
June 16, 201511 yr Author Not a bad idea, and top 5 for OF I guess? Or top 9 for OF. Three for each position. I think this would be the perfect compromise.
June 16, 201511 yr Once we get closer to the all star game Stanton will end up winning. I'm not worried. People love stanton
June 16, 201511 yr I think it's pretty hilarious they're voting Aoki in like this. the ASG is a sham anwyay.
June 16, 201511 yr Wong has a chance at beating Dee Gordon too. Wong has a higher .ops than dee gordon. should be in over gordon.
June 16, 201511 yr Wong has a higher .ops than dee gordon. should be in over gordon. Gordon has been worth 1.0 more WAR than Wong
June 16, 201511 yr Author Wong has a higher .ops than dee gordon. should be in over gordon. Gordon has the higher WAR. It isn't all OPS. However, if Gordon keeps regressing, Wong could be the better player right at the break.
June 16, 201511 yr Author Wong has a higher .ops than dee gordon. should be in over gordon. Yeah cause OPS is the only stat that matters
June 16, 201511 yr Wong will have a higher .WAR at the break than Gordon. I'll bet 10 bucks on it (unlike Wild Card I'll pay in the unlikely event I'm wrong). Wong and Panik should represent the NL at 2b anyway.
June 16, 201511 yr Author Dee Gordon has been the best 2B in the NL this year. Das doesn't let reality get in the way of his dumb crao
June 16, 201511 yr Author Wong will have a higher .WAR at the break than Gordon. I'll bet 10 bucks on it (unlike Wild Card I'll pay in the unlikely event I'm wrong). Wong and Panik should represent the NL at 2b anyway. It's possible, but not guaranteed. The point is, if you were casting a ballot today, Gordon is the clear case for number one.
