3. There's complaining every year..it's nothing new.

Schulman reminds me of Ratto..lets cause some controversy by running down the hometown heroes.

In 2009..Wright, in the first half, hit .324 with five homers and 44 RBI and was voted as the NL starting third baseman.. Pablo's numbers in '09 were .330/15 HR/55 RBI and he, unlike Wright this year, didn't even get a reserve spot.

Don't you think it's about time Pablo got a break?

And Melky and Posey deserved it...

What MLB needs to do, is not produce the final ballots until about a month before the game. That way, you won't have players like Sanchez as the only Giants selection at 2B. And there were only 2 viable options in the OF, Pagan and Melky...so I went with those two along with McCutchen

I'm a Giants fan..who voted for both Crawford and Belt. I have nothing to be ashamed of. Giants fans have put up with East Coast Bias seems like forever. Payback time. Every time.
