When I went to go vote, you use an e-mail address. After you complete the vote it says you can vote up to 25 times. When you want to vote again, you enter your e-mail address as a log-in so this way you can keep track. I'm sure many people used up those 25 votes, not just Upton(if he voted 25 times this year).

FTR I only voted once so far.
McCann
Fielder or Votto
Brandon Phillips
Chipper Jones
Jose Reyes (:hide: Sorry El, at the time Reyes had better stats)
Matt Kemp, Lance Berkman, and Carlos Gonzales(I know this doesn't make sense given my Reyes vote but he is my favorite player on the Rock Show)

I may vote one more time when it gets a little closer to the All-Star break.

:shrug:

I saw who you voted for and thought you voted for McCain. I need to put my glasses on!!

I'm not sure if they measures in place to prevent that kind of thing.

You just have to enter the secret code for each vote.

the Giants still don't have a first team fielder. Well, Posey might have made it.

Best thing to have anyway

Bochy. What a load.

I would've voted for him if I could have voted for SPs and relievers.

save Wilson for meaningful games. He could use the rest. I'm sure all the Giants would look forward to some time off -- Bochy included.

have Tracy win a World Series, then he can pick all the Rockies he likes..

And I'd rather have my team in first place than have a position player on the All Star team..

Its a shame no one outside of DC seems to be paying attention what ROOKIE Danny Espinosa is doing...Although they lost to the Angels last night, Espinosa gave them yet another chance to win... Him and Mike Morse have almost single handedly revved up the Nats offense.

and J Zimmermann for Greinke. Glad Greinke nixed that one!

Rickie Weeks is well deserving of the votes he is receiving. However, Espinoza should have more votes than Utley and Uggla.

Only a few of my votes are currently the top vote-getters in their position:

And I've got a lot of work to do if I want to get Jose Reyes to the top of the Shortstop category.
I have a few email addresses, but with only 25 entries per, I can't quite make up the 245,000 vote difference.

ETA: Just voted 25 more times with a long-forgotten email address. For the AL, I'm trying to pick the least productive people I can find.

Posey, Pujols and Utley who only recently came back? This is WHY I hate fan voting. It has nothing to do with ability and is little better than a HS popularity contest. The Nats have some really really nice players who are totally ignored because of this nonsense.

He was still having a pretty decent yeas, before he got injured a couple of weeks ago. Plus, I like him a lot - he's a decent person.

For Posey, because I still have him on one of my off-line Fantasy Baseball teams I am involved in, and we get bonus points if a player we have on our roster all year makes the All-Star game.

Utley - because I needed a second baseman. Espinosa is a great player, yes - and he does deserve to be on the team. I just didn't vote for him. I guess I could have voted for Brad Emaus (who the ballot says is on the Mets - but he's currently on the Rockies).

Man, they stink.

He's becoming a good and consistent hitter, but his defense is attrocious. He's got range to burn, but he doesn't have the soft hands that great shortstops have.

But, i can't really disagree that he deserves enough votes to be on the list. But, he's not an all-star.
