I actually saw there being a chance for 4 3B on the team. Wouldn't be the first time 4 guys at the same infield position made it in. Really not that big a deal considering DH/PH opportunities throughout the game and such. I kinda figured Longoria was well known enough that he'd have won the player vote, which would leave Leyland to sort through the other three for one spot, with Donaldson and Machado having the inside track since they can play other infield positions. Could have actually fit both in had the players not voted in Salvador Perez, essentially forcing Leyland to take a 3rd catcher to take care of the Houston rep.

Apparently Leyland actually called Donaldson and apologized to him for not picking him, since he himself felt it was an unfortunate snub he had to make. So that was pretty cool of him.
