Don’t Vote for Jimmy

It’s my responsibility as a blogger to point out things that are unjust. One thing is the fact that Jimmy Rollins, the shortstop of my beloved Phillies, is leading NL MLB shortstops in All-Star voting. The problem is, J-Roll has under-performed all season. His stats are not All-Star worthy. So please, if you are listening to me, if you are voting for Jimmy,
DON’T VOTE FOR JIMMY.
Yes, he won the World Series last year. Yes, I love the Phillies, but those who deserve it should go to the All-star game.
Look at these weak stats…
Jimmy Rollins
Avg .225
  • HR 6
  • RBI 27
  • Runs 40
  • SB 10 

    •  

    A much more deserving candidate:

    Hanley Ramirez

    Avg .325

  • HR 8
  • RBI 34
  • Runs 39
  • SB 9

      Have you ever heard Mike and Mike talk about All-Star voting?

      No, I haven’t. Why?

      Golic doesn’t think it should be the popularity contest that it is and Greeny thinks the best players in the game (not necessarily those who had the best first half of the season) should be in it. I guess it’s like Manny receiving so many votes even though he’s missed the majority of the season.
