I didn't say it would happen but it surely should. Home field advantage depends on it. Shouldn't be left to uneducated fans, which let's be honest, most are.

I'm not passing judgment on whether or not they should remove the vote from fans. I am just confidently and firmly predicting that they will not ever do that again.

The paper ballots had to just be a drop in the bucket as far as overall votes once there was an online option. I bet the return rate on those was pretty low, and most people are only going to fill out one. Online, you can do 35 votes in 5 minutes and repeat all night if you wanted to do so.

Its not a coincidence that the very same year that they made it online-only, that suddenly the Royals and Cardinals are both getting a huge number of starters. The votes from each of the other 28 stadiums would have balanced things a bit more.

Fine then do half fans and half panel on who makes it. I don't care but it shouldn't just be the fans. But when a turd like Omar and over half the Royals make it, the system is clearly flawed and ridiculous.

I think in 15 years each or most seats will have some kind of ipad-like device built into it, where fans at the game can conveniently vote for all-stars, as well as play around with other in-stadium features. We're in the awkward in-between period of technology where internet-only votes empower hyper-motivated fan bases.

That.... might be a plausible option. I don't think it'll happen, but if I went forward 5 years in a time machine, I wouldn't be completely shocked if I looked around and saw that MLB had put in something like that.

1. Who cares about the all star game?
2. Make paper ballots at games worth 10 online votes.

I'm still getting used to the idea that Draftkings is seen as legitimate enough to the point where professional sports leagues allow them to advertise.
Give it another decade, and we'll be able to gamble online.

He's also already picked his coaches: the managers for the Rangers and the Mariners
