Combining fan voting with the game determining homefield advantage is even more ridiculous

I agree...
As does "every team needs a participant"

If this exhibition game is "for the fans" - then why get rid of fan voting?

Shouldn't the most passionate fans stuffing the ballot be rewarded? (they are going to be the few people tuning into this bore)

Makes perfect sense, you reward the fans that will actually watch the game.

(As far as deciding homefield, that's MLBs retarded fault for messing with a stupid exhibition.)

They should divide the vote by equal parts: 1/3 fans, 1/3 media, 1/3 players.

That way the fans get a say, but they can't do dumb shite like they do.

Kobe started when he was hurt all season. It needs to be downgraded for sure

Remember back when people was actually excited about watching the all-star game because it was filled with stars. Who the hell is excited about watching Mookie Betts and Dexter Fowler and Jackie Bradley Jr. and Eric Hosmer and Addison Russell start in the all-star game? No wonder why there's no buzz in the sport anymore.

I'm all for fan vote, but fan vote shouldn't mean they are the starter, nor should it be for every position. I like how MLB is trying to get fans more involved, but this is not the way to do that imo

The old system sucked too as home field advantage switched between the leagues every year.

I will never understand why the team with the better record doesnt get home field in the world series. Makes zero sense.

It's an absolute joke that Addison Russell is on the All-Star Team ahead of Aledmys Diaz.
