My MLB All-Star Ballot

American League

C: Joe Mauer - .321/.414/.433 (He leads the AL in OBP)
1B: Paul Konerko - .333/.412/.549 (Cooled down recently but still has better numbers than Fielder)
2B: Robinson Cano - .308/.372/.580 (Is on pace for 40 HRs but only 90 RBI)
SS: Asdrubal Cabrera - .289/.373/.469 (Picking up where he left off at the AS break last year)
3B: Adrian Beltre - .333/.365/.538 (Barely beats out Miggy, who I would have picked two days ago)
OF: Josh Hamilton - .312/.375/.647 (Probably still the favorite for AL MVP)
OF: Mike Trout - .344/.402/.532 (Leads the AL in BA and SB - as a rookie; picked as write-in)
OF: Josh Willingham - .272/.384/.535 (Wanted Mark Trumbo but the ballot only has 1 write-in slot)
DH: David Ortiz - .309/.399/.628 (Leads the AL in runs, OPS, and OPS+)

National League

C: Carlos Ruiz - .364/.430/.591 (Somehow leading the NL in BA at age 33)
1B: Joey Votto - .353/.478/.643 (Easily the front-runner for NL MVP)
2B: Aaron Hill - .297/.361/.500 (Leads a very weak pack of NL second basemen)
SS: Jed Lowrie - .266/.355/.500 (Is currently on pace for 30 HRs)
3B: David Wright - .357/.449/.559 (Looking to be the 2nd straight Met to win a batting title)
OF: Andrew McCutchen - .342/.397/.586 (Where would the Pirates be without him?)
OF: Carlos Beltran - .312/.400/.582 (Leads the NL in both HR and RBI)
OF: Ryan Braun - .311/.392/.596 (Currently tied for the league lead in HR)

Interesting Baseball Note for the Games of 6/3/12

Every starting pitcher yesterday got a decision (win or loss). While it is the fourth time this year that this has happened, those days were 4/1 (opening day with just two teams in action), 5/10 and 5/31 (Thursdays where there were just 7 and 3 games, respectively). Every team was in action last night, meaning thirty different SPs got decisions. This did not happen at all last year. (See after jump for the complete list)
