Major League Baseball just released the leaders of the early All-Star voting in the National League. It’s too damn early to actually argue about this stuff, so let’s just list the results with the vote totals in parenthesis:
C: Buster Posey (785,314)
1B: Albert Pujols (988,784)
2B: Brandon Phillips (837,778)
3B: Placido Polanco (724,724)
SS: Troy Tulowitzki (975,777)
OF: Ryan Braun (971,809)
OF: Lance Berkman (872,434)
OF: Matt Holliday (927,778)
