Let's Make a Deal
The voting for the MLB All-Star Game has opened. I'm thrilled to death that my favorite Brave, Brian McCann, is on the ballot. He's a really solid ball player and has been very consistently good both through the end of last season when he moved up to the majors and so far this year as well. Last time I checked, he was sporting the highest batting average of any of the Braves' regular starters. But he came up about the same time as Jeff Francouer, and seems to be stuck in Francouer's shadow. I don't entertain the delusion that McCann will be beating out any of the more well-known catchers for one of the NL spots, but I would love for him to get tons of votes. So if you are All-Star-Game-voting-inclined, please consider tossing your NL catcher vote his way. If you have anyone in particular you'd like me to vote for in my remaining 24 votes, let me know, and as long as they're not an NL catcher, I'll oblige.
As they say in Oscar campaigns, thank you for your consideration.
