I totally agree that the All-Star voting has gotten out of hand.
Where are Rafael Ramirez and Claudell Washington in the balloting?
Probably near the bottom since they are not well known, but are
both in the top ten in batting and other offensive categories.  I
may be an Atlanta fan, but I don't even think that Dale Murphy
should be as high up as he is now.  He's hit a lot of homers, but
his average is only around .250.  (It looks like he may be falling
into the Mike Schmidt syndrome.  ARGGGGG!!!)  Anyway, look at
Gary Carter leading the catching position.  The only thing I see
him doing any good at is slugging pct.  And would you beleive that
Steve Yeager is running second in the balloting.  I don't think he
has played 25 games this year (starting, that is).  I could go on
for days, but hopefully the coaches will equalize this fiasco with
some good picks (e.g., Gwynn, Francona, Hayes, Dernier, etc.)

Till next time,
