All Star voting for the American League as of now

8 of the 9 position players are KC Royals. I personally think that the players picks should have more weight than online voting. I guess something like this could be expected when the voting went to entirely online. As of now, you can go online and vote up to 35 times per email address you use at mlb.com. I'd love to see this happen so that they'd address the voting method for 2016.

Side note, Omar Infante has the lowest OPS of any of the other vote getters at 2nd base.

Any teams fans could manipulate the system if they desired. It just goes against the spirit of the all star voting.
