Despite the fact that Teixeira is leading in the votes, I don't think he's the most worthy of the all-star voting.
1. Adrian Gonzalez- I don't think Gonzalez is going to win the American League MVP award as long as Jose Bautista keeps playing like he does but I'm sure Gonzalez will be mentioned and may be in the top 3 in the voting. Averaged WAR: 2.25. .329/.377/.541/.395.
2. Miguel Cabrera- For the calendar year, Cabrera has more DUI's than triples. Averaged WAR: 2.1. .311/.432/.568/.417.
3. Mark Teixeira-I was trying to think of logical fallacies that Yankee fans make but I haven't been on ESPN's comments section in awhile so it would be hypocritical of me to point out contradictions if I made them up myself. I guess there could be bigger travesties than Teixeira being voted as the starter, such as Jeter being voted as an all-star. Averaged WAR: 1.5. .257/.367/.535/.389.
4. Mike Napoli- not good enough to start for the Angels, traded twice this off-season, could be an all-star if actually voted on as a catcher as he is playing some games there, too. Averaged WAR: 1.45. .225/.365/.550/.394.
5. Mitch Moreland- Napoli's teammate, he's on my fantasy team, I'm not doing very well, though, my first round pick was Chase Utley and my second round pick was Carl Crawford. Averaged WAR: 1.4. .307/.384/.515/.392
