... First of all, sorry if there is another such post and I missed it. At any rate, I was just curious what cafe fans voted for. Here is who I voted for:
American League National League 1B: Mourneau(Min) Fielder(Mil) 2B: Upton (TB) Utley (Phi) SS: Guillen (DET) Reyes(NYM) 3B: A-Rod (NYY) Cabrera (FLA) C: Martinez (Cle) Martin (LAD) LF: Ramirez (BOS) Holliday (COL) CF: Suzuki (SEA) Rowand (PHI) RF: Ordonez (Det) Griffey (Cin)
There were some tough decision... like the NL outfield. I guess I was a little bit of a homer for picking Manny, but that was the only one. The only other LFer was Crawford IMO. I wasn't sure what to do about the whole DH issue. I was thinking about Big Papi, but even considering that issue, Mourneau edged him out.

A couple days ago Kruk mentioned that he didn't know why R. Ibanez wasn't getting more votes since he was having a better year than Manny..... I turned the T.V. off......
AL C Posada 1B Teixiera 2B Upton 3B A-Rod SS Guillen OF Mags OF Ichiro OF Swisher
1B was the toughest choice. Took Teixiera on a combination of defense and a high OBP. Took Ichiro over Sizemore based on D. Chose Swisher as the 3rd OF because he walks a lot. I also tried to choose an RF, CF, and LF (hence Swisher).
NL C Martin 1B Fielder 2B Utley 3B Cabrera SS Reyes OF Holliday OF Griffey OF Pence
CF in the NL is really weak. That's why I'm taking Pence; there are no CF who are worthy, but at least he's been great since he got called up. The other difficult spot was SS, where I took Reyes over Hanley because of Hanley's 14 errors, and I took Reyes over Renteria because of the SB.
