If anyone hasn't been following the All Star voting for the MLB All Star game, there is something weird going on right now that has the MLB up in arms. In fact, it has gotten so bad that they cancelled 60 Million votes in fear of improper voting. Why you ask? Well the American League voting currently has 7....yes...SEVEN starters slated to be from the Kansas City Royals. Here are the most recent voting tallies.
CATCHER
1. Salvador Perez, Royals: 10,199,151
2. Russell Martin, Blue Jays: 4,736,279
3. Stephen Vogt, A's: 4,368,609
4. Alex Avila, Tigers: 1,587,868
5. Brian McCann, Yankees: 1,548,747
FIRST BASE
1. Miguel Cabrera, Tigers: 9,342,149
2. Eric Hosmer, Royals: 8,013,745
3. Prince Fielder, Rangers: 2,391,736
4. Justin Smoak, Blue Jays: 1,769,661
5. Albert Pujols, Angels: 1,375,167

2. Jose Iglesias, Tigers: 6,122,972
3. Jose Reyes, Blue Jays: 3,499,760
4. Jed Lowrie, Astros: 1,367,386
4. Xander Bogaerts, Red Sox: 1,343,991
OUTFIELD
1. Mike Trout, Angels: 9,148,142
2. Lorenzo Cain, Royals: 9,079,146
3. Alex Gordon, Royals: 7,810,995
4. Yoenis Cespedes, Tigers: 5,929,670
5. Alex Rios, Royals: 5,658,024
6. Jose Bautista, Blue Jays: 5,299,960
7. Adam Jones, Orioles: 4,827,069
8. Michael Brantley, Indians: 2,840,820
9. J.D. Martinez, Tigers: 2,401,441
10. Josh Reddick, A's: 2,324,555
11. Jacoby Ellsbury, Yankees: 2,323,786
12. Rajai Davis, Tigers: 2,121,599
13. Hanley Ramirez, Red Sox: 1,429,619
14. Torii Hunter, Twins: 1,320,494
15. Carlos Beltran, Yankees: 1,272,963
DESIGNATED HITTER
1. Kendrys Morales, Royals: 7,584,560
2. Nelson Cruz, Mariners: 7,298,451
3. Edwin Encarnacion, Blue Jays: 3,010,436
4. Victor Martinez, Tigers: 2,195,284
5. Alex Rodriguez, Yankees: 1,590,342
The way this is going, the entire Kansas City Royals starting lineup is going to be voted into the All Star game as either a starter or a reserve, which means there is something terribly wrong with the way the voting system is set up at the moment.
