I don't think for a single minute Hosmer / Infante or Morales are going to win the fan vote. I mean, they might legitimately win it, but baseball will step in and falsify the votes at the last minute to save face. Come on. Do you guys really think the Cavs won the LeBron lottery in 2003. The Bulls won the Rose lottery?
MLB isn't going to let 8 Royals start an all-star game. |

The funny thing is; everytime baseball does something like this (cancels 60 million votes) and publicizes it or someone from a major national news organization writes a scathing article or diatribe directed at the Royals and the 'process', it just encourages more people (not JUST Royals fans) to get on-line and vote for the Royals in an attempt to 'stick it' to the establishment. MLB and national news organizations have mobilized fan voting in a way the Royals never could have dreamed of.
The whole thing really is completely hilarious and we probably will end up seeing 7 to 8 staters wearing Royals uniforms in the All-Star game. |

I've read several stories about how privately, off the record, the guys in MLB are just loving this. Sure, they'll probably fix it next year and figure out a way to keep this from happening again, maybe by giving the fans vote a 50% weight against other factors, but in 2015 they have no intention whatsoever to step in and interfere with the all-star vote because they are getting unbelievable coverage and publicity for their all-star game right when the NBA and NHL finals were going on and they normally have to take a back seat in the national conversation and attention.

no one gives a rap about the ASG but the Royals have turned it into THE STORY TO COVER right now during the DEADEST TIME OF THE YEAR for sports so all of you guys that always complain about the Chiefs/Royals never getting any media love ... or media hype ... or media hate ... enjoy the next month because it's going to be all Royals talk |

I also believe that if Rios and Gordon miraculously takes down Trout, then the starting lineup will be 8 Royals and some other AL team's pitcher batting 9th.

All-Stars games use DH's, regardless of AL or NL park. No pitchers will be batting.

I know of myself and at least four other Royals diehards that haven't even voted.If I were to do so I couldn't vote Infante or Rios,other than that I'd have no problem voting the rest.
I think one thing being overlooked(and maybe already discussed here)is that the Royals have no less than five states they can call fanbases based on their central location and those other states having no team,so that in itself could be a huge amount of votes as well.
