June 16, 201511 yr The Royals probably have a few pitchers that are worthy of selection that this could hurt. Put a couple deserving Royal pitchers on the team, and they could have 10 or 11 All-Stars. What I don't get, is how they are getting so many votes? Kansas City isn't exactly a huge market. It almost makes me wonder if someone hasn't somehow hacked the system.

If this holds up, a deserving KC pitcher may very well be left off the roster since you have to have someone represented on every team.
June 18, 201511 yr I hope this year brings about the same result as 1957 in that fan voting for the starters is abolished.
