Matt Kemp makes the Fan Vote

Matt Kemp still has a chance to make the all-star team via the fan vote. Tough group as he will have to beat out Pablo Sandoval, Mark Reynolds, Shane Victorino, and Christian Guzman.

Even if he doesn't win the fant vote

do you think he’s got a good shot at making it as a replacement for Beltran? Probably a better shot if Hudson had not made the team.

Carlie Manuel will probably try to pick his player Victerino over Kemp for an injury replacement.

Good point on that.

but won’t they need two? One for Ibanez and one for Beltran.

I think Victorino is the only one with a chance of beating Kemp in the fan vote...

Since none of the others plays in a big enough market, and it’s not like any of them have overwhelming numbers. Chances are pretty good they both make it.

Dodger fans don't vote much in all-star contests

so I don’t think the size of the market is relevant here. As far as numbers goes they are all solid players this year and you could make an argument for any of them.
