All pitchers in the AL and position players in the NL? Weird. Who’d you vote for?
i am campaigning not voting. I think I influenced 1 million of the 15 million votes in day one.
I am “Stop Puig”. The anti-Puig coalition is rallying around Braves’ Freeman, who leads.
In the AL: anybody but Benoit. No more Tigers.
And NOT Robertson, as a payback for the Torre years when the Yankees got 9 all-stars every year.
rules require at least 13 pitchers, so when Leiland made a roster of 12, he was required to make it all pitchers for the final spot.
And it is all RHP bull-pen set-up guys.
NL already has 13 pitchers. Desmond is a great player.
there are 4 all-stars who are scheduled as starting pitcher on SUNDAY. Pitchers in that position are usually replaced.
Hisashi Iwakuma SEA
Verlander DET
Wainwright STL
Wood CHI
There are quotes from their managers that each of them will indeed make their Sunday start.

As of TUES morning,
Robertson has moved slightly ahead of Koji for second place ... close behind Delabar.
Freeman continues to lead Puig.
33 million votes cast thus far.
There is plenty of BoSox bullpen news.
