No one ever says they care for Arod, yet he gets most total votes @3,934,518, just a bit shy from last year (btw, he just hit HR #536, ).

Manny's there, along with Lincecum, Josh Hamilton, Sizemore, my fav Hanley PG's Scott Kazmir. Looks like less of a popularity contest and based on talent with lots of young guys.

Should be a great game.

Not so sure about that...maybe more in the NL than the AL, but how can the #1 staff in the AL not get one pitcher in? How about the players voting Jason Varitek in? As for young talent, Joe Crede gets voted in over Evan Longoria? Crede is having his worst fielding year ever, leading ML 3rd basemen with 17 errors and Longoria is a defensive magician and tearing the cover off the ball.

To me it looks astoundingly like players voting their buddies in and not the best players.
