Unfortunately the All Star balloting is as much about popularity with the fans as talent and all three leaders (Vlad Guerrero of the Angels, Manny Ramirez of the Red Sox and Ichiro Suzuki of the Mariners) are in large markets. MLB.com has an interesting article about the fact that <a href="http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20070621&content_id=2040790&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb" rel="nofollow">neither AL batting leader Ordonez nor NL leader Matt Holliday would be starting</a> if voting ended today. FYI, Ordonez has one error in about 200 chances this season. Torii Hunter is a great ballplayer and deserves a starting spot.
