Are you freaking KIDDING me?

FOURTH? Zimmy is FOURTH among NL 3Bs in AS voting? He is the best-hitting 3B, the best-fielding 3B, and has the highest overall win value of NL 3Bs (a full win ahead of #2 Wright). Zimmy is the AS NL 3B. Period.

We all know it has nothing to do with talent.

God damn popularity contest

It’s a disgrace. I want a Senate inquiry into this too.

I have voted Zim 27 times

25 online and twice at a live game.

Perhaps we should go on a marketing campaign throughout SBNations various sites. We should work hardest on AL sites since they have less vested interest in the outcome.

What do you say?

Somebody organize this!!!!! If it works I am sure you will get some TV time for it.

Bill Hall??

I can understand Chipper and Wright. Yes, Zimmerman’s been better, but those guys have been doing it longer on good teams. Really Chipper’s been pretty great.

But Bill Hall??? Bill Hall, who’s losing playing time to Craig Counsell and Casey McGehee?

so all star voting should be based

soley on who is having the best few months of the season? i guess it will be a real tragedy when raul ibanez gets robbed of his rightful starting OF spot, then.

All of the mets fans hope that we will not see the bad news mets ever again.

Zimmerman will always be denied accolades

despite his qualifications because of Wright and Chipper’s stardom. As a Mets fan, I know how this feels as Jose Reyes will forever lose the awards to Hanley Ramirez.

Bill Hall doesn’t deserve to be that high, period. Chipper’s great, but his time has mostly come and gone. David Wright is acceptable at #1 because, in my opinion, his consistent excellence over 3 years or so trumps Zimmy’s few months of awesomeness. And remember, Aramis Ramirez made it over him last year. So it’s only fair he makes it up this year, haha.
