Cruz is 9th

Cruz should be first

I can’t believe Josh is getting so many votes still.

If you can't watch Holland and see that he's going to be awesome, you probably shouldn’t be watching baseball. - Section 339

Most people in the nation are unaware that he's injured

keep that fool where he belongs…2nd to Ian.

Can’t believe Salty makes this team…would be sweet if Andrus did. Will Cruz? he’s most deserving, really.

No

Varitek will be taken over salty

As for Cruz, I still dont think he makes the team…he obviously has 0% chance of making it in the fan vote and i just dont see him being picked as a reserve
