Default Who is getting your All Star votes?

Ok, will admit to bias and homerism to an extent. So Teoscar, Neto, Smith and Trout are homer votes for me (the AL outfield sucks, Teoscar, Smith, and Neto deserve to be named but theres a couple guys with a little better stats)

That said...

AL
1B Goldy
2b Gleyber
3B Jose Ramirez
SS Neto
OF Riley Greene
OF A-aron Judge
OF Trout
C The Big Dumper
DH Devers

NL
1B Freeman
2B K. Marte
3B Machado (almost choked on this and voted for Muncy instead based on the past 2 weeks)
SS Lindor
OF Carroll
OF PCA
OF Teoscar
C The Fresh Prince
DH Ohtani

AL
C - Raleigh - obvi
1B - Aranda - 4 deserving candidates here joining Goldy/Tork/Vladdy with similar overall numbers. Would be a cool story for Tork to get it, but I'd expect Vlad will win the vote
2B - Gleyber - clear pick IMO
3B - JoRam - healthy Bregman would have made it a tough choice
SS - Witt - but Jacob Wilson and Pena are practically neck and neck with him
OF - Judge - obvi
OF - Buxton - healthy and mashing
OF - Ryan O'Hearn - random name but absolutely needs to be on the team, and putting him in OF lets me get Devers in. But tough to leave Kwan and Julio off
DH - Devers - Ben Rice having a good year but Devers better all around

NL
C - Will Smith - clear choice
1B - Freddie - clear choice, but gotta shout out Michael Busch as a dark horse contender
2B - Brendan Donovan - clear choice
3B - Machado - Chapman is right there too
SS - Lindor - but Geraldo Perdomo deserves to be on the team too
OF - PCA - obvi
OF - Corbin Carroll - having a great bounceback year to what was expected of him
OF - James Wood - dude has arrived. Tough to leave Tucker and Tatis off, but they'll both get in
DH - Shohei - obvi

Most crowded positions are AL 1B, and OF in both leagues

Some weird off brand names in here, but I absolutely love the random All-Star campaigns for deserving players like Aranda, O'Hearn, and Perdomo, and will advocate for these sorts of guys every season

Donovan is “clear”? Why does everyone act like Ketel Marte doesn’t exist?

He missed almost the entirety of April and as such is not a qualified hitter right now. If he stays healthy moving forward he should catch up and would be deserving by the time the ASG rolls around if he keeps pace. But today on June 5th, Donovan is the clear choice

As a Cardinal Fan I disagree with you. Marte easily.

Even though the Rockies have been terrible overall, Hunter Goodman has the best offensive stats for catchers in the NL... he won't garner the votes Will Smith or Carson Kelly will get (or even Drake Baldwin with the game being in Atlanta) but he's at least deserving of a spot on the team.

This is still true - even more so now that he's on a heater (and a team winning streak).

.285 avg., 16 2b, 3 3b, 15 hr, 38 runs, 46 rbi - leads NL catchers in all these categories except avg.

The one person who did have him, has him as a write-in for outfield. He's on the actual ballot as a DH. And Devers is a fair choice over him.

The game itself is a joke, so not sure I really care any more....half the guys who get voted in will pull out with injuries, and the starters will all be out of the game by the end of the fifth inning.

Why is no one voting for Adolis Garcia?

OP -- just admit that you started this thread so you could list all the Dodgers players you want to start the All Star Game:

NL
1B Dodger
2B some dude
3B some dude
SS some dude
OF some dude
OF some dude
OF Dodger
C Dodger
DH Dodger
P Dodger

Yes, of course, it's a Dodgers world and we're all just living in it.

HAHA, I almost posted my ballot with a Reds player at every position. They don't call us fan[atic]s for nothing.

Acuna.

"Qualified hitter" has never been a requirement for ASG voting.

In previous seasons there was so why Acuna is an option but Baldwin was left out is quite odd.

NL OF is so loaded.

PCA, Tatis, Woods, Pages, Carroll, Tucker, Teoscar, Merrill, Hays, Ramos, Kyle Stowers and Oneil Cruz can all say they deserve to be an AS.
