I know, I know, every year we ring our hands over all-star selections.  But even the worst fantasy geek knows that that Placido Polanco has absolutely TANKED since his hot April start.  He's down to a .277 batting average on the year, and has a WHOPPING 4 Home runs and 3 stolen bases.  It's a bad year for third basemen, but it's not THAT bad.

How do you vote in a guy who over the past 30 days is hitting .186, with 7 runs scored and a single HR.  At least he has 10 RBI.  But come on, if Derek Jeter can be voted in at below all-star levels, can't a guy like Longoria, or Wright, or Sandoval who hasn't played much.  Heck, even the Cubs Aramis Ramirez should go in ahead of PP based on numbers alone.

Maybe I won't mind being in camp next week during the all-sPud game…..
