NL All-Star Starters

Here's who the fans have voted in as the starters for the all-star game (as of today - voting ends on June 29th). Let's take a look and see who's deserving and who's A Fraud.

1st - Albert Pujols - no brainer. Clear choice.

2nd - Chase Utley - no brainer. Clear choice.

3rd - David Wright - Scott Rolen could make a good argument but Wright is having an MVP type season (well except the award now belongs to Albert Pujols)

SS - Felipe Lopez - best choice in a week field.

C- Paul LoDuca - This should go to Michael Barrett (will he be the sole Cubs representative?). I think that starting next year the best NL catcher choice may be Brian McCann of Atlanta and that he even has a good argument to make this year.

OF - Carlos Beltran, Alphonso Soriano, Jason Bay - An argument could be made for Carlos Lee over Jason Bay but the game is in Pittsburgh and that argument for Lee would have to be a damn good one to convince me he should start over Bay.

Overall - I don't think there are any glaring mistakes made in the fan voting. Good job fans.
