Vote Paul Konerko into the All-Star Game

It seems like every year, a member of the White Sox is in the Final Vote for the MLB All-Star game. This year, that player is Paul Konerko, who, frankly, I'm surprised did not get picked for the All-Star team outright. He's having what could be a career year. Currently, he's hitting .296 with 20 HR and 57 RBI. That's more home runs and RBI than the other four players he's up against, and his batting average is about the same as everyone else.

We now have the opportunity to rectify his All-Star team snub by voting him into the final spot on the AL All-Star team. Click here to do that. You can vote multiple times. Do that. He deserves it. And while you're at it, I think Joey Votto deserves the final spot on the NL team.

Even as a Sox fan, you have to admit that not having Boesch on the final vote list is a travesty (he should really be in the team mind you but to not even be on the final vote list is a joke).

If he gets 21 PA's in the next 5 games he will have enough to start showing up on the list of hitting leaders. As of right now, he'd be tied with Morneau for the MLB lead in average and 4th in the league in OPS. But since his name isn't Strasburg or Heyward he gets zero mention on the worldwide leader when it comes to rookies. Hell, right now he's not even listed on the ESPN poll about who the biggest all-star game snub is (don't worry, Strasburg and his whole 6 starts is a choice).
