Despite All Snar Snub, Vote For Lind On Final Ballot!

With All-Star Sunday coming and going, we've all read numerous articles analyzing the all-star snubs and such. Everyone has their own opinion and every year there's at least five or six players that should automatically be on the all-star roster that are just plainly left off.

Now being a Blue Jay fan, my heart goes out to Aaron Hill and Doc Halladay for making the roster for this year's game. They were deserving, and their peers knew the right thing to do by putting them on the roster. However, as a Jays fan, we fell short don't you agree?

Looking around our team, we deserved at least a couple other representatives on this year's roster.

3B—Scott Rolen

.328 Avg, 6 HR, 30 RBI, .389 OBP, .874 OPS

Despite his power numbers being down, you can't find a guy that has been much better at the hot corner that Scott Rolen. His 20 plus game hitting streak and flawless defense over the past three months makes him a much more deserving candidate then Michael Young of the Rangers.

However, that's not my big gripe.

People have argued for Marco Scutaro to earn recognition and earn a spot on this year's roster. It just wasn't going to happen for Marco. With Jeter, Andrus, Bartlett, etc., and the LACK of fan voting from Toronto Fans, you know who you are (I'll get to that later this week), Marco had no realistic chance.

My big gripe is Adam Lind being left off the roster.

Come on, Ben Zobrist?

The guy's been unbelievable, but when the year started he was a part-time utility player. Lind is perhaps a little more deserving.

Here are just a few of his stats:

.310 Avg, 18 HR, 57 RBI, .944 OPS

You can't get much better than that.

So, fans of baseball and Jays fans who might be reading this, do your team a favor and vote for Adam Lind on the final ballot on mlb.com

Yeah, this may be a biased article, but Lind is deserving of a spot on this year's squad.

VOTE FOR LIND, SHOW SUPPORT
