Jerk. Well your team is a rotation of All-Stars – not the offensive riff-raff I have right now. Jerk.

When I'm at the K turning in All Star ballots I almost always give the edge to guys on my fantasy team. So as illogical as it may be, I can understand. Fair points.

Rasmus got some votes, but outfield is pretty stacked all over, and on the method we used, he tied Willingham points-wise, but Willingham had more individual selections, so I arbitrarily gave him the nod, mostly because he's on my roto team. As for the MVP, I say Cano. I knew he was good, but he's the best player on the best team (by record) right now.

You could definitely make a case for Jason Heyward, too. I love all star ballots, because no one is ever right. But come on, I think it's safe to say that Ubaldo has to be the starter. He's been historical! Also, who's the MVP so far? It's gotta be Miguel Cabrera or Robinson Cano, right? Or Billy Butler, I guess.
