Up next is National League.

EDIT: I forgot the DH is Ortiz.

[Sports Guy]

Good to see the fans recognized Hamilton.

[bikiniarmstrong]

It's good to see anyone that doesn't play for Boston or New York.

Yeah really.

Would it be wrong of me to root for the NL this year?

I understand it's a popularity contest, but Pedroia over Kinsler is criminal.

[HeatherC12]

I'm extremely happy for Josh Hamilton. Good for him and I can't wait to see him in the game.

No Griffey??! He was right up there just a few days ago. Did Cubs fans stuff the ballot box this past week!? That sucks.

Yeah that's what I thought.

[Goop]

Here's the NL:

C - Soto

1B - Berkman

2B - Utley

3B - Chipper Jones

SS - Hanley Ramirez

OF - Braun

OF - Soriano

OF - Fukodome

Waiting on the DH....

[beaner]

Yeah that's what I thought.

Yeah, Pedroia's a nice player, but Kinsler could arguably be the MVP in the AL right now. I'm glad the fans recognized Hamilton too, but Kinsler should be the starting 2B.

[Sports Guy]

Got to wonder who gets in for the O's...BRob, Huff, JJ and Sherrill could all go...Markakis could as well but his HRs and RBIs aren't high enough.

I agree but at least Kinsler should be named as a reserve guy for the team. He's been really good for TX lately.

BTW-With Pedroia and Youkalis on one side of the diamond and Jeter and ARod on the other, what the heck will the fans do during a double play?! Cheer for half and boo for the other half?! LOL :laughlol:

I agree and hope that we get more than 1 player on the team, but I have a feeling the O's are only going to have the mandatory 1 player.

[bikiniarmstrong]

I think it comes down to Huff and Sherrill.

Until they put some reserves in from some other teams, I'll probably just cheer for the NL.

Yeah, Kinsler will be named a reserve, but a season like he's having deserves more.
