Just voted on MLB.com for the Bull Dozier. The guy is leading the AL in 4 or 5 categories and is the definition of a gamer. Hopefully he win the Final Five vote and a Twin can beat out the big media guys in NY and Boston.

Just voted several times as well.

Seems odd for a team in playoff position, 5 games over .500, to only have one All-Star.

Agree.
I guess the KC manager thought Russell Martin, Jose Bautista, and Adam Jones had better numbers than Dozier. Some are claiming he didn't want another second baseman after he was 'forced' to take the guy from Boston. But why does the All star game need a dozen pithchers?

People get left off every year. Dumb fan voting and having to have at least one from each team. Sometimes just too many same position players.

You cannot very well go with no reserve catcher although I might have picked McCann with his 52 RBI and he isn't even making the "snob lists" going around.

The Oakland catcher will get a few innnings after the Royal's guy plays the majority of the game. Martin is the third catcher named to the team.

The most important thing is we are 1 week from all star game and the twins are still in the thick of it as far as the playoffs go.

I think its fine to have the fan vote, but why not use the formula 50% fan vote, 50% media/baseball writers

Dozier is second place in the voting. Keep voting, the last thing we need is another Royal All-star.

At the game tonight sitting out in left. Just have a feeling this one is gonna go extras and Dozier's walk off will wind up in my hands.
