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

Puck Fedroia

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

murphy is the 15th best outfielder in the AL!

Ranger fans must be stuffing the ballot box so far.

Ron Washington...giving hope everywhere to the kids who eat lead paint chips of being a big league manager when they grow up since 2007.

It looks that way, don't it?

Salty #2 among catchers, Davis #5 among 1B’s? Come on.

Is this proof that the Rangers "vote 25 times for free tickets" campaign is working?

Surely Salty isn’t a big enough name to make the team on his own. Elvis being third and Murphy being anywhere on the list is pretty surprising as well.

i'm shocked

kins is ahead of pedroia and by a wide margin. obviously he deserves to be but pedroia is a really popular player among the douchebag bandwagon red sox fan contingent. i would expect him to have jeter-like votes.
