All-Star Vote: HanRam vs. Tejada

by nynolelaw on Jun 10, 2008 6:51 PM EDT

MLB.com was highlighting today, the fact that Tejada has overtaken Ramirez in All-Star votes. Although public All-Star voting is silly (see Jeter, Derek), and although there is little that we can do right this travesty -- I urge you to head over and complete those cumbersome All-Star ballots for Ramirez and Uggla.

Hanley vs. Tejada, some statistics:

		AB	AVG	OPS	HR	RBI	SB
M Tejada	HOU	253	.300	.801	7	39	5
H Ramirez	FLA	244	.299	.914	14	31	15

Ramirez also has 163 assists, 9 errors and has contributed to 35 DPs. Tejada has 187, 5 and 30. Of course, Tejada also doesn't know what year he was born and reportedly has an affinity for steroids. Link But, maybe that should be irrelevant for purposes of AS voting.

In any event, here's to getting a little more national exposure!

Don't forget Uggla

Although its hard to argue with Utley being the starter at second base, there is no reason that Uggla should be way behind at fourth in the voting, behind Mark DeRosa and especially Kaz Matsui. Feel free to take a look at the numbers yourself, but belive me, Uggla is way ahead of them in just about every statistical category.
