is having an excellent year and it is a crying shame that he has been left off the All-Star ballot. He is among the top 3 in the hitting catagories and is having possibly the best year of any National League shortstop.
There is the usual shenanigans going on with the ballot box stuffing going on in Philadelphia and guys getting votes based on what they did in the past instead of what they are doing right now.
The current top 5 (as of 6/15/2010) vote getters at shortstop are as follows:
1. , Marlins 1,190,685
2. , Phillies 992,887
3. Rockies 702, 165
4. , Mets 493,913
5. , Reds 487,680
Ramirez and Tulowitzki are having good seasons but the rest? Well they are here on name only and that is a shame. Maybe I am just getting on my high elitist blogger horse here but the unwashed baseball masses are making a some bad votes here with Rollins (hasn't played since May 21st and has only been in 12 games this season), Reyes and Cabrera.
Let's do my favorite thing and go to the stat board:

As I was saying 3 of the top 5 vote getter have no buisiness being anywhere and there is one guy who is deserving that is being left off.
Juan Uribe is second in OPS, OPS+ and AVG , he is first in home runs, RBIs and slugging. These shouldn't be going overlooked.

I hope that this mistake is rectified and is added to the roster by the players. If he still isn't added he better be on the last man added vote list and it would be a travisty if he didn't make it.
Vote Uribe!
