1B
1. Pujols, A. Cardinals 1,283,047
2. Lee, D. Cubs 1,117,634
3. Mientkiewicz, D. Mets 325,286
4. Choi, H. Dodgers 237,043
5. Bagwell, J. Astros 230,083
Albert and Derek are both having awesome years but Derek has the potential to be a triple crown. Derek will probably end up being the starting 1B and Pujols will be the starting DH. But how are Mientkiewicz? so he made the final out in the 2004 world series. big whoop. Choi? you crazy. its an undergrown Yao Ming that doesn't deserve to be here. Bagwell. Played for like a month? I think. Gone for the year with that arthoscoptic surgery. Nick Johnson and Carlos Delgado deserve to be on the list. LaRoche, Overbay, Nevin and Casey could all compete for the last spot on the list.
2B
1. Kent, J. Dodgers 1,015,097
2. Grudzielanek, M. Cardinals 573,618
3. Biggio, C. Astros 487,040
4. Walker, T. Cubs 424,829
5. Giles, M. Braves 349,333
Lets see here. Kent as much as I hate him deserves I think. Grudzielanek at number 2 doesn't fit right. Biggio deserves to be the reserve, he's always a good player. Walker was hurt for like what? a month? Giles is having a little better than average year. Chase Utley and Luis Castillo deserve to be on the list. Utley was blocked by Polanco for a long time but he is a fantasy monster. Castillo has been heating up lately but I guess Grudzielanek could take the last spot.
SS
1. Izturis, C. Dodgers 677,260
2. Eckstein, D. Cardinals 611,803
3. Garciaparra, N. Cubs 522,519
4. Barmes, C. Rockies 427,711
5. Furcal, R. Braves 383,300
Lets see, Izturis is like 4 for 40. or worst? thats a horrible slump. Eckstein at number 2 is also kind of scary. he was a great clutch man but number 2 as being a reserve is kind of nerve racking. Garciaparra was going to have a absolute shit year but he pulled his groin so yeah and he couldn't even play in the game. Barmes broke his shoulder, he could of had been the starter but fate twisted that chance. He should not get any more votes let hope. Furcal? he's off to a so-so year but with the people on this list he deserves it. maybe the prison time after the post-season shaped him up. how is Jimmy Rollins not on this list. I think he is the best NL fantasy short-stop out there.
3B
1. Rolen, S. Cardinals 941,631
2. Ramirez, A. Cubs 659,533
3. Glaus, T. Diamondbacks 559,587
4. Jones, C. Braves 540,984
5. Wright, D. Mets 394,873
Well all the big name/good hitters got on the list. Rolen missed a chunk of time but he's a good hitter. Ramirez started to pick up his slack and is now doing a helluva job. Glaus is now a big chunk of offense that the LAA miss. Chipper Jones was doing so-so except he hurt his food and shouldn't be on here anymore. David Wright picked up the bat he was supposed to swing and is now off to a good year. Morgan Ensberg is having such a stud first half and is a monster who should be rewared.
C
1. Piazza, M. Mets 908,968
2. Lo Duca, P. Marlins 622,476
3. Barrett, M. Cubs 501,249
4. Hernandez, R. Padres 469,054
5. Molina, Y. Cardinals 429,577
Piazza at number 1 is absolute bullshit. Lo Duca is a hitting machine but I don't think he deserves the starting point. Barret has beeen doing kind of allright. Hernandez was hitting very clutchy till he hurt himself. Molina hit better after he was hurt but still, he don't deserve to be an all-star. Estrada in my opinion is my starter for the NL All Star team. Lieberthal and Schenider deserve a spot on the list because they hit unnoticiably.
OF
1. Beltran, C. Mets 1,047,531
2. Edmonds, J. Cardinals 972,720
3. Abreu, B. Phillies 965,805
4. Cabrera, M. Marlins 677,345
5. Griffey Jr., K. Reds 625,219
6. Walker, L. Cardinals 526,668
7. Bradley, M. Dodgers 501,846
8. Burrell, P. Phillies 442,911
9. Floyd, C. Mets 437,946
10. Jones, A. Braves 427,040
11. Drew, J. Dodgers 412,971
12. Patterson, C. Cubs 398,277
13. Burnitz, J. Cubs 376,751
14. Sanders, R. Cardinals 349,823
15. Lee, C. Brewers 334,218
OK. Carlos Beltran doesn't even deserve to be on the top 20. Jim Edmonds at number 2 is kind of allright but number 3 would suit him better. Abreu is a fucking monster and deserves a slot in the outfield. Cabrera also is a fucking monster at 22 I think and better get a start with Edmonds and Abreu. Griffey is off to a Seattle Mariner quality year and definately deserves a reserve spot. Larry Walker at number 6 is just complete mediocracy. Milton Bradley would get reserve spot cept he womped his finger. Burrel at number 8 is un-called-for. He's a top reserve with the year he had. Floyd should be owning Beltran in the all-star voting. Andrew Jones was hitting so bad now he has 19 homers I believe and is just a powerful machine. JD Drew was a disappointment and I don't think a top 15 suits him well. Corey Patterson in my opinion has always been hitting good but just wasn't anything close to Derek Lee or Jeromy Burnitz. Burnitz is having a good year and bring home a lot of runs and scoring himself in a lot of good times. Reggie Sanders is having such a great year but the effing fans won't see it. Carlos Lee is a top reserve to if not backup DH because he hits tons of RBI's/HR's and is doing so much better than a number 15. I think Dave Roberts deserve a spot on this list. Jason Bay is the pirates best hitter is power and average and should be on the list. Mike Cameron was having a stud year when he came back from the DL and with some of the people on the list he better be here. Adamn Dunn is an awesome power hitter with just a bad average. Brian Giles and Brad Wilkerson are also off to great years and should be on the list. Brady Clark, Luis Gonzalez, and Jose Guillen are even having good years.

I think the NL vote-getters are getting voted cause of their names. But some of them are actually getting what they deserve. I think this is better than the American League voting.

i maintan that if bobby gets knocked off the starters, it's a travesty. he's a good solid mvp candidate and easily the most reliable phillie in years. so proud.

im glad kent and izturis are leading. caeser has been in a terrible slump though

honestly i think that andruw jones deserves to be higher. he is tied for the homer lead in the national league. griffey didn't hit but maybe one homer run in the first month of the season and he plays for a worthless team. and somehow he turns up fifth so far.

they're playing good team ball...i could see burrell being higher, but aside from abreu they don't have many all stars (which is fine by me as long as they make the playoff push)

the game tonight sucked.....Abreu actually grounded out for the last out....

Felipe Lopez should be the starting SS in the NL. Big name NL shortstops do not exist. .296 BA (4th), .889 OPS (1st), 12HR (1st), 40 RBI (1st)

As far as everything else goes...
C- LoDuca or Piazza, neither are too impressive
1B - Lee, Pujols, Delgado...no one else is really close
2B- Kent without a doubt
3B - toss up between Glaus, Ramirez, Wright
OF - Abreu, Cabrera should be locks...after that an arguement could be made for Burrell, Alou, Jones

My Thoughts:

1st base = derrick lee...can you say triple crown?
2nd base = jeff kent..duh
3rd base = aramis ramirez...how Chipper is top 5 is beyond me...even though he was kicking ass through the first 4 weeks of the season
SS = Rafael Furcal...yea hometown guy, but he leads the league in stole bases as of like 3 days ago
C = Lo Duca cuz i hate Piazza and the others are rediclously overrated
OF = Andruw Jones aka the kudzu kid, Jim Edmonds, and Reggie Sanders

Most of this seems about right, but the outfield should be Abreu, Carlos Lee and Andruw Jones. I cannot believe how low Carlos Lee is on the outfield voting.

I think it's a travesty that DLee is not the leading vote getting for 1b. Yea, I know, Pujols is awesome and deserves to be there, but no one can deny how DLee is playing. He's the best player in baseball right now. He's batting .395 and we are 71 games into the season!! That's amazing, then add on the fact that he's leading the league in HR's with 22 and 2nd in RBI with 64(only 2 behind the leader Carlos Lee)
He's the man, and will win the mvp

Which is exactly what I was referring to when I said he's batting an amazing .395, leading in HR's, and 2nd in RBI.
