The NL All-Star votes have been updated online, and Jose Reyes is starting to close in on Tulo! But before we get into it, if the voting was to end today (last week's leaders in parenthesis):
C – Brian McCann, Atlanta Braves (McCann)
1B – Albert Pujols, St. Louis Cardinals (Pujols)
2B – Brandon Phillips, Cincinnati Reds (Phillips)
3B – Placido Polonco, Philadelphia Phillies (Polonco)
SS – Troy Tulowitzki, Colorado Rockies (Tulowitzki)
OF – Ryan Braun, Milwaukee Brewers (Braun)
OF – Lance Berkman, St. Louis Cardinals (Holliday)
OF – Matt Holliday, St. Louis Cardinals (Berkman)
So the only change is not really a change but Berkman passes Holliday to be second on the OF chart, but they are both on the same team, and Holliday leads Ethier, next up but 400 K. The story for me this week is a push for Reyes. Two weeks ago he was at about 77 K, and Tulo was at 140 K. This week Tulo is at 182 K, and Reyes is at 120 K. Jose is slowly closing the gap between the two, and even if he doesn't get starter recognition, he is going to make the roster.
