1. When I voted AL
I couldn't believe I ended up voting for so many Red Sox and Yankees. I really try to vote based on stats rather than who I prefer.

3. No
I meant I vote based on stats at the time. Not who I want, otherwise no Yankees. For catcher I voted for Alex Aliva because at the time he had(or still does) better numbers than Russell Martin. :)

5. The Rangers have three times as many as the Giants in the top five for each position?
Well almost. No DH in the boring league.

Isn't Frisco a bigger market area than DFW? Don't they know how to use the internets in the city by the bay? Are they looking for Barroid on the ballot and when they don't see him give up?

6. That is a little strange because they tried.
There was a Red Sox - Giants "alliance" supposedly for the All Star voting. Seems to have favored the Red Sox. I know I did. Ellsbury!:applause:
