AL All-Star Vote Update: Comparing Fans' Vote to Players Deserving of Start

The 2013 MLB All-Star Game is up to the fans...that's not as good as it sounds.

While the fans are excited to vote for their favorite players, I'm afraid they've only voted for their favorite players, and the American League voting update from June 15, via John Schlegel of MLB.com, makes that more apparent than ever.

There are some egregious errors where it comes to All-Star voting, including the fact that Derek Jeter received 669,698 votes despite not playing a game.

It's becoming clearer and clearer which players will be starting in the All-Star Game, but not everyone is deserving.

Let's take a look at each AL All-Star Game starter and whether or not he deserves it.
