For my closing statements, players should go to the all-star game because of how good they are doing not who everyone knows. The only thing fans should be allowed to vote on is the final player to be voted in. Although managerial selection for the all-star game is a good idea, in some scenarios they pick the wrong players aswell. The all-star game would be much better if there were great players who arent either old and washed up or having a bad year. Just pure players in their prime.

To throw in my last little argument, I agree with most debaters on this topic. The voting system is flawed.. very flawed. Fans vote on big names or favorites. The players who are having great years and deserve the lime-light are snubbed for the players who've been in the league for longer or have star power on a certain team. I think the voting should divided into percents. The fans have 30%, the managers have 30%, and the league officials/other important people have the remaining 40%. Yes, it is only one game, but it is still important that the players that deserve a spot get one and the players that don't deserve one don't. There are many smart, die-hard baseball fans who vote based on merit. There are far more ignorant voters who vote because they want their favorite player in the game. This is what throws the voting, and this is why fans cannot be left with the responsibility of voting.

BO for got to choose, so I'll do it. (Taking myself out) It's a toss up between BWW and Sportsfan508. In the end, I think both of you have good arguments. BWW brought the numbers, which I love and his closing argument was much better. I'm going with sportsfan508 as the winner though. Create a topic and be ready to judge. Congrats
