All Star Voting Update

He's wrong. A minimum of one would make it, and Keuchel would potentially be the starting pitcher again (between him, Santana, & Sale). I hope Correa & Altuve get starting nods (I'm assuming Altuve eventually will win the fan vote, while less confident about Correa).

If it actually took place today, Correa, Altuve, & Keuchel would be no doubt selections. LMJ & Marwin would be likely. Giles would be close to 50-50 (ERA not good enough, but saves won't be ignored). Springer & McCann would get consideration, but with the every team rule it will be difficult to get that many selections.

Rather than writing in Marwin, we are better off voting for Sano at 3B and Alonso at 1B so Miggy & Machado don't take more deserving players' spots on the roster. I don't know what June will hold, but right now Sano & Alonso would be taking up bench spots.

Big jumps for Correa and Altuve

 

Correa can do it.

 

I think Springer still has a shot too..

 

Yeah, Springer needs to make the top 4 and hes not terribly far from it. Especially with the weekend he had, it could happen.

 

If every member of Clutch Fans voted their 35 allowed times in the All Star Vote that we could add 1,522,710 votes to every Astros player on their ballot? This city has well over 2 million people, and hopefully a good percentage of them are also Astros fans and will step up. But, let's not wait for everyone else to do their part. Clutch Fans can make a big difference!!!!!!!! These guys deserve some recognition. Let's do this!

Go George!

 

Wow we could really have 3 starters!

McCann could easily be the backup C

Keuchel, McCullers maybe even Devo could be selected

We could have 7 all-stars

 

Assuming 3 starters along with Keuchel and/or McCullers....no way Devenski makes it.

 

Wow, way to rock the vote.

Correa and Springer storming in and Altuve back where he belongs.

 

I vote 5 times with 5 different Yahoo email accounts every day. I finally got George and Correa up there all by myself!

 

The Universe feels aligned at the moment. All is right.

 

Altuve, Correa, and now Springer

 

No Marwin?

Altuve is the 2nd leading vote-getter in the AL.

Keep abusing the system until it's over

 

I'd be curious, given the Astros' collective surge, whether Marwin poked his head into the top 10 (among 1B). Unlikely - but, then again, so was Correa lapping Lindor.

 

I'd be floored if a write-in, non-superstar candidate ever cracks the top 15 of one of these things.

 

I know Trout is amazing, but it bugs me that he is 2nd in voting while not even playing. And Judge just hits homers... I hate the Yankees and there fans.. Rant over.
