All Star Voting is Underway | Pitching Change for Tonight's Game

So this is how my current All Star Ballot is looking. Comments are welcome:


First Base: Ortiz, D., BOS
Second Base: Kinsler, I., TEX
Third Base: Chavez, E., OAK
Shortstop: Lugo, J., BOS
Catcher: Mauer, J., MIN
Outfielder: Ramirez, M., BOS
Outfielder: Sizemore, G., CLE
Outfielder: Suzuki, I., SEA

First Base: Delgado, C., NYM
Second Base: Hudson, O., ARI
Third Base: Wright, D., NYM
Shortstop: Reyes, J., NYM
Catcher: Lo Duca, P., NYM
Outfielder: Alou, M., NYM
Outfielder: Beltran, C., NYM
Outfielder: Green, S., NYM

Honestly, based on numbers right now, Delgado and Wright are borderline at best. But I'll defend my choice vehemently. You can't argue the other Mets on the list. Beltran's almost as hot this spring as he was last spring. Reyes, LoDuca, Alou and Green are all hitting over .300 and are scorching hot right now.

I actually voted for Justin Morneau on a few of my ballots instead of Ortiz. I know, I know, but Morneau's the reigning MVP and he's pounding the league this year. How do you not vote for him?

From Mets.com: Chan Ho Park will make his regular-season debut for the Mets, replacing Orlando Hernandez, who is sidelined with a shoulder problem, when the Mets face the Marlins tonight at 7:10 ET. Be there to watch the Mets face left-hander Scott Olsen.

I can't say I'm excited to see (1) El Duque on the DL or (2) Chan Ho Park making a start for the Mets. I would say that you should give the starts to Sele - he's been pitching well out of the bullpen - but Sele's been pitching well out of the bullpen so why screw with him. Park wasn't horrible in Spring Training. I don't hate our chances with him on the mound. We'll see how he pitches tonight and pass judgment tomorrow!

Oh BTW, the Yankees are still in last place. Enjoy!
