I thought Soriano was injured:confused: :thinking:

Soriano was voted in, but will most likely be replaced due to injury.

Milton Bradley is now starting hopefully, he left todays game in the 6th and is a recurring injury hes had. He might say the days off will be good for the knee.

I agree, Kinsler should be in there. But the fans get it right more often these days than they used to.

15-20 years ago guys like Hamilton, Hanley R, and Ryan Braun wouldn't even get a sniff. People used to vote for the same guys over and over no matter what kind of a season they were having.

I'm mildly surprised Berkman made it as a starter this year. Lots of people are simply programmed to vote for Pujols.

well tejada and varitek didnt deserve it either....and they need to put in a rule that injured players like soriano and big papi cant be voted in

Right now there is no better lead-off hitter or second baseman that Ian Kinsler (in either league). The guy is playing incredible.
