All star voting?
If I made my pick and made the starting lineup for the All-Star Game, then this would be my pick:





American League





C Joe Mauer, Minnesota - Leading the league in BA and hitting the ball like Ichiro with occasional SB, but drives in runs also.


1B Jim Thome, Chicago White Sox- A lost cause in Philadelphia, he rebounded in a big way, leading the American League in HR and top 10 in RBI, and also making Chicago a more formidable threat on offense than a year ago (his replacement in Philadelphia isn't that bad either).


2B Jose Lopez, Seattle - Richie Sexson and Adrian Beltre were suppose to carry the "big" offense for Seattle but Lopez came out of nowhere to lead all 2B in RBI and having a breakout season.


SS Miguel Tejada, Baltimore - Former MVP is once again having to carry the load for Baltimore and he's not dissapointing anyone with his stats.


3B Alex Rodriguez, New York Yankees - The reigning MVP hasn't lost his touch in another pressure-filled season in New York.


OF Vernon Wells, Toronto - A comeback year for him after a dismal season and leading Toronoto into playoff contention in a division fill with Yankees and Red Sox.


OF Carl Crawford, Tampa Bay - One of the most undderated player in baseball is on pace for his first 20-20, .300 season.


OF Alex Rios, Toronto - Breakout player of the year and finally putting a solid season that Toronto envision when he came up to the big leagues.





National League





C Michael Barrett, Chicago Cubs- Before the suspension, he was the only savior on offense for Chicago when Derrek Lee is injured and Aramis Ramirez is struggling.


1B Albert Pujols, St. Louis - The reigning MVP will try to prove that last season wasn't a fluke, as if he has to prove it season after season.


2B Chase Utley, Philadelpia - Despite a slump right now, Utley is on pace for a repeat performance in his first full season as the starting 2B.


SS Jose Reyes, New York Mets - Benefiting from the offense this season, he leads the league in run scored and SB and the leading vote-getter among his position.


3B David Wright, New York Mets - He's making New Yorkers trying to forget that other 3B from New York with his five-tool performance.


OF Alfonso Soriano, Washington - The best 2B in the league, if the team actually let him play there.


OF Carlos Beltran, New York Mets - New York is finally getting their money's worth of this kid in his second season with the team.


OF Carlos Lee, Milwaukee - Always putting big number but never getting the recognition for it, whether it's was with the White Sox or Brewers.
