The AL Vote is a complete joke. Let's see if any of them get more than 5 national votes ::facepalm::

It would be stupid for Puig to get on the AS team. So stupid.

No it wouldnt
The AS is a semi-meaningless exhibition game that is supposedly "for the fans".
The fans want Puig so why does he not deserve to be there if that's the case?
Besides, in the past 30 games who has been hotter than him?
He's doing historic things.

Yes it would. I'm a fan too, I can have an opinion. Puig playing 30 games is not enough to make him an All-Star. Period. And he's taking a spot from someone that has played most/all of the year. If he got called up a month earlier and was performing like this, I wouldn't have a problem with it. At least he would have played in 75% of the games...but here he hasn't even played in 40% of the games. It's ridiculous.
Shin-Soo Choo was hitting .333 with an OPS over 1.000 after the first 30 games of the season....he's not on the team.
If the fans want him, so be it but that doesn't change my opinion on it being stupid and the FACT that he's taking an All-Star spot from someone who's be in the MLB the entire season.

If he makes, then he deserves to make it. It's a fan vote. Fans don't always pick the guy with the highest WAR, they go with who they want to see play in the game.

Tenure SHOULD be a huge factor - clearly it's not. Like I said, if the fans vote him in, so be it.
Think about it this way...what if Shane Spencer had the month he did, when he got called up, in June of that year and he made the All-Star team? How stupid would that have been? He was just as hot and caused just as much hype and played in 3 less game than Puig.

Look at the All-Star rosters throughout the years. They're full of one-year and half-year wonders. Puig making it will not affect anything in the grand scheme of things.

Hindsight is 20/20 - in your scenario, the fans wouldn't have been wrong to vote him in if his stats were as impressive as Puig's, and therefore, would not have been a "stupid" decision.

He's done more in 30 games than most guys will do all year. Put him in the game.
And on the flip side, how many "tenured" players have zero business playing in the game (based on their performance in the current season) and have started the game? Players make the team all the time and don't deserve to be there. Puig at least is doing his damnedest to earn his way on.
I'm ambivalent. I'm thrilled with Puig and what he's brought to the team. I'm thrilled that right now the Dodgers are relevant. If he makes the team, fine. If he doesn't, that's fine, too. Either way, I'm good.

I won't mind if puig makes it. I just don't see him being a long term success so it may be his only shot.
Ill be happy with anyone on that list but im voting for the homer.
