I agree on Lee, but I'll take Joe Mauer over Martinez; Mauer doesn't have Victor's power, but his defensive stats are better, and I'm pretty sure his batting average will be higher by the All-Star break(although Mauer's being healthy hasn't been a given over his career so far)

+2 thumbs upvictor's d has been better this year and victor is yet to homer but he leads the AL in batting...Maurer and Victor should both make it but fans will vote Pudge or the horrible Varitek/Posada in

I didn't realize Victor didn't have a HR...he's got the power, but yes, I'm afraid the popularity contest will let in one of those "horrible" choices you mentioned in!!

 1st Base - Kevin Youkilis
Pitcher - Cliff Lee, without a doubt SHOULD get the nod... we'll see if it happens.

And as a Red Sox fan, I'd love to argue with Jen and Derms,  but they're absolutely right. All-Star voting is a joke, and it's got nothing to do with how well a player is doing that year... it's a combination of hype, past performance, and the name on the front of their uniform. The 2008 All Star starters definitely won't be the best players in 2008 at their respective positions. Some might, but most of them won't be.
