1. Thanks for heads up
voted Alex Gordon (though I didn't research other AL players or NL players for that matter) and Todd Helton.

3. Oh, I'm going to vote alright..

5. There aren't any Giants on this ballot.
So go ahead. Why not vote for the Dodger?

:rofl:

6. Going with Mike Morse..
he's an ex Mariner, with a team I don't hate, and has good numbers..

I'll make a deal with you though. If it comes down to the final couple days and Helton is the only player with a chance of beating either Victorino or Ethier, then I'll throw a few votes his way...

Hey, another nice game from the bullpen...

8. No deal. I'll be casting tens of thousands of votes for Helton.
He'll win anyway. The limit is broken!

9. Victorino or maybe Ethier is probably going to win..
the vote naturally favors the players from the big population centers...And once you throw in the East Coast bias, along with the Phillies success, I think it all adds up to a Victorino win..

4. Something is wonderfully wrong.
I've cast about 100 votes and it hasn't said that I've exceeded my 25 vote limit.

How long can I keep this up?

10. Done,
I know I said Helton didn't belong on the team, but given the choices, he's the best option. Voted for Helton and Konerko.

12. +10000

Michael Morse has been the better player and more valuable to their team than the others. The amount of Nats ignored for the ASG is ridiculous. I still am pissed off at people who were voting for injured players like Posey instead of great young talent than Espinosa.

13. Most of Posey's votes came before his injury
He was leading the catcher's balloting up until that time, but finished 5th or something like that. And Espinosa is a 2B anyway, so I don't get your point..

16. My point is
I know people who voted for both Pujols and Posey after their injury.. Also people like Chase Utley who were hurt most of the year. I hat seeing young guys of any team miss because of voting for injured guys. I love RZimmermann but did not vote for him due to injury.

14. His numbers are nearly identical for home & away
8 2B home & away. 5 home runs at home, 4 on the road. .319 at home, .321 on the road. .408 OBP at home, .375 on the road.

141 AB home.
109 AB road.
