Fielder has also hit significantly better than Morales as well. So take Bautista out of it. His numbers still don't stack up to Cruz, Fielder, or Rodriguez.

Do you think the All Star ballot has iso, wrc, etc. on it? Unless fans want to do a bunch of extracurricular research, I believe the only stats on the ballot are avg, hr, rbi, sb, and ab. Keep in mind that Morales has been hitting over .300 for the majority of the year while Rodriguez was hitting like .240. You can't expect every voter to see that and go, "Hmmmmm. I really love Alex Rodriguez. I wonder what his iso is?"
