That the players voted only for Davis might speak to some backlash about how the media has treated the CubsWhat a difference a year makes. 5 last year.

I'm not sure Sale and Kimbrel would agree with this. I think Sale would prefer it being held at an AL park and Kimbrel wants to be the one that gets the final out.Pete AbrahamVerified account @PeteAbe 31m31 minutes ago
It would be more fun if Kimbrel started and Sale closed. But baseball is too staid for such shenanigans.

Well, if they the Final Vote guys are a straight position fill-in it makes sense. But they are trying to fill the openings based on positionIt makes no sense that guys up for the final vote aren't first on the list to replace guys that drop out/can't play.
He's a pretty boring choice, but he does hit the ball far and the Home Run Derby is more about stars than amount of homers. I mean, more random people are inclined to tune in to see Gary Sanchez than Logan Morrison.I can't believe they can't find 4 sluggers in the AL better than Gary Sanchez for the HRD.
Seems fair to reward the leading vote getters and bat him last.Mookie will bat ninth for the AL
But Scherzer Joins Clemens, Big Unit, Doc Halladay, and Vida as only pitchers to start for both leaguesSale is the first pitcher to start consecutive All Star games with different teams.
Scherzer is the one who has started for both leagues, not Sale.Joins Clemens, Big Unit, Doc Halladay, and Vida as only pitchers to start for both leagues
