Michael Young getting absolutely robbed

[slomo007]

Is, in fact, Jack Wilson a star? Is Mike Young a star? Is Victor Martinez a star? 3 months of playing well doesn't make you a star in my mind. If you want to get crazy with changing the name then by your standards it should be the "Best Players on June 13th Game."

If I were a manager on a contending team, I would despise fan voting. Now that the game actually means something, I would much rather have the hottest hitters at the moment rather than the stars who have proven more over their career. Afterall, the point is to win one game, not a series of games over a long time span. If the game doesn't mean anything, then yes, let the stars have every spot...but being that it does, give me the best players at the time.

Is Jim Thome a star? Yes, and he's leading the majors in HRs. Yet he's third in NL 1B balloting.

I agree Thome should be higher but Pujols is one of the biggest stars in the game.
