The ballot counting monkeys (no, really…they hire trained chimpanzees to count All-Star ballots) over at MLB.com are indicating that the All-Star voting is very tight in the category of American League 1B.   Who should you vote for?  Well, let’s take a look at the year-to-date performances of the top three candidates:

I guess the takeaway from this is: vote for whichever guy you believe is providing the most value as a player.

If you’re one of those people who tend to value baseball players using their performances in areas such as “hitting”, “fielding”, “baserunning”, “helping his team win”, shit like that, then you should probably cast a vote for Kevin Youkilis.

If you place a heavier value weighting on qualities such as “being from Maryland”, “Twitter proficiency”, “marrying a fire-breathing Valkyrie pygmy”, and “possessing equine facial characteristics”, then you can vote for the other guy.
