I just cast my All-Star ballot. Man, a couple positions didn't make it easy. Not because there were so many guys having a great season, but because so many weren't.
I know my ballot is going to look like a big homer, since the ballot asks who your favorite team is, but I voted for Miguel Cabrera, Victor Martinez, Jhonny Peralta, and Alex Avila. Two of my other 3 votes that weren't Yankees are former Tigers, Curtis Granderson and Matt Joyce. But it's an honestly non-biased ballot.
In fact my bias at shortstop was initially to give Derek Jeter one more starting nod in the season that he will collect his 3000th hit and officially cross into baseball immortality. But I had to go with Peralta who has had a great season and as far as I know has never been to an All-Star Game.
Plenty of other people will vote for Jeter though, so his start is pretty much ensured. I just hope the players pick Peralta when they choose the reserves.
