That's pretty nuts but I wonder who he's beating out? Pujols and Fielder are in the AL now, etc.

Do you have a link to current vote totals? I see Posey is in the lead at catcher...

Giants could potentially have 3 starters (Buster, Pablo, Melky). Pagan is also creeping up in the voting, but there is no chance for him.

Here's my answer (partial) on 1B voting:

FIRST BASE
Joey Votto, Reds: 2,108,725
Lance Berkman, Cardinals: 851,373
Freddie Freeman, Braves: 828,759
Brandon Belt, Giants: 563,708
Bryan LaHair, Cubs: 514,809

LaHair is getting screwed for sure but I wonder if 6-10 are any good?

LaHair should be second, followed by LaRoche, Goldshmidt, Lee, Freeman. My god 1B is a weak position in the NL right now.

Yep, after AGonz, Prince, and Pujols left...

I am afraid that coincidence is not causality, but it is worth the try.

Are you sure? I think it's scientifically proven that what we post here affects the game. Look at Colin's powers.

after Bum's bomb, i sent my brother a text (he was somewhere else in the stadium) and say "wow...bum hits one before Belt this year"

Berkman .333/.429/.571 (42 ABs)

Freeman .250/.296/.434

Belt .246/.357.415


Well heck, maybe Belt deserves to be higher than 4th!
