Stats for the season (not just the past week):

Pedroia: .314/9HR/47RBI

Kinsler: .337/14HR/58RBI

Pedroia is a little better in the field but come on. The All-Star voting process is a farce.

The All Star game is supposed to be for the first half of the season, not just the end of June and beginning of July. Kinsler has been the second best second basemen in the majors this year and should be starting for the AL.

To many Sox fans for voting to be fair.

Why has KG jr. fallen off over the years he was always on the ALL STAR TEAMS?

There is no reason to be arguing over who should start because all star voting is based on popularity the more popular player wins, its just the way it is.

Kinsler should absolutely be starting... catalyst for the best offense in the league too. he's a player

along with hamilton bradley and young, and surprisingly chris davis.

pitching? hahahaha

Don't forget about Kinsler's steals.

He's 23 out of 24 attempts, and the only CS was on a pickoff.

Davis will be a stud

Basically, if you're in the rangers organization, you might end up raking..

One of my friends is actually in their organization, Johnny Greene. C/3B and made the all star team i think he was playing in Iowa.

Whoever came up with the idea that the winner of the all star game gets home field in the world series should be hung in court square...
