I'm actually kinda shocked Puig was on the Final Vote. Bochy said a week ago that he didn't feel he'd played long enough to be an All Star, so I figure he'd have been left off entirely. Kinda makes me wonder if MLB urged him to include Puig.
At least the Pirates had 4 reps. The A's are leading their division and only got Bartolo Colon. Grant Balfour not making it is baffling to me. Should have definitely made it in ahead of Glen Perkins.
Josh Donaldson was a huge snub too, but it'd have been hard to fit him in even if they did the right thing and put Longoria in instead of Zobrist. I appreciate Leyland giving props to the unheralded set-up guys, but Donaldson, Longoria, Howie Kendrick, and others all should have been in the Final Vote at least.
