rone | my mlb all-star ballot

Vote here.

AL:
1B Carlos Delgado
2B Bret Boone
SS Nomar Garciaparra
3B Troy Glaus (tough one... Hank Blalock and Bill Mueller are close)
C Jorge Posada
OF Melvin Mora, Manny Ramírez, Carl Everett (Milton Bradley and Eric Byrnes are close, too; i fear that Mora or Everett might not be voted in as they're not listed, and they clearly deserve it)
DH Edgar Martínez

NL:
1B Richie Sexson (Todd Helton looks better, but that's mostly thanks to Coors Field; his road numbers are mediocre)
2B Marcus Giles
SS Rafael Furcal (barely over Florida's Alex González; Furcal's only missed one game all season)
3B Mike Lowell (just edges out Scott Rolen due to a tougher home park)
C Javy López
OF Barry Bonds, Albert Pujols, Gary Sheffield (with a very close Jim Edmonds)

As for starting pitchers, Kevin Brown is the clear choice for the NL. For the AL, the utterly surprising Esteban Loaiza is my choice. Too bad pitchers are still not on the ballot...
