Donaldson deserves at least 2x as many votes as Moustakas.

donaldson is arguably the best third-baseman in all of baseball and could possibly win MVP. it would be an utter travesty if that neanderthal moustakas started at 3B over him. please vote.

Bautista outplays his contract by more than $70 million over the next four seasons (2013-2016).

At the very least vote Donaldson (and likely Martin and Bautista. Damn, Travis stacks up well despite being hur). For other positions vote for worthy candidates that might actually knock off the silly Royals, some of which barely deserve to start for their own team, much less in the ASG.

The Royals might have started their campaign too early, giving everyone else a chance to head off this travesty.

i would actually vote of all the royals, so that they can end this all-star fan vote-in bull.
How would you describe Raptors RGM forum in one sentence?

Only voting all 8 Royals in will lead to change. They're not just leading, they're destroying the ballot box. It's obvious this unlimited voting thing is not working. Might as well see this through.

haha what a joke. I agree, lets all vote for the Royals and maybe they'll stop this ridiculous method of choosing players for a game that "matters".

Voted 35 times for all Royals and Phillies. I like the subtle hint once you reach the limit that you need to switch email addresses to keep voting. They don't say "you can't vote anymore" they say "you can't vote with this email address anymore".

I think the all-star game rosters should be picked by a vote by MLB GMs and Coaches, with a rule that they not vote for their own team players.... That would be a more fair method

Then the Fans vote for who will Start from that roster.... Just to keep the fan base involved.

The game actually matters, it should be treated as if it does

KC will look more like a joke if they actually succeed at this. Of course, knowing that city after having lived in it for 6 years, they'll likely just wear it as a badge of honour.

With the amount of stats available in baseball to tell us which players are actually elite, they should just make a computer program to pick the rosters. As long as they use plate appearances to make sure everyday players are the people picked by the program, there wouldn't be any issues.

As a fan of an AL team, I think we should do the reverse and vote the worst players in NL for allstar starters
