With voting set to end tomorrow night, no Phillies have received enough votes to earn a starting role on this year’s National League All-Star team. In fact, no Phillie ranks in the top five in his position – or the top 15 for outfielders – in votes received.
Voting isn’t exactly a fair measure of merit – Kyle Schwarber has received nearly a million votes and ranks eighth among outfielders even while playing poorly enough to recently be demoted – but no one is clamoring for the inclusion of any particular Phillie no matter the selection criteria.
