I don't like the fan voting becuase the system has been abused. In the early 90's there were the 5 or 6 Indian players being voted as starters in baseball and now the Japanese fans vote en masse for Ichiro and Matsui. The all star game should feature the best players not the ones with the biggest fan clubs. At the very least, fan votes should only count a fraction and not automatically determine who is a starter. As a fan, I want to see the best players playing the best game.
