Vote Kirk Nieuwenhuis: An Update

If you remember, I made a plea to vote Kirk Nieuwenhuis into the 2013 All-Star Game for various reasons. Now I don't really have a vote total for you, but I do want to let you know that I'm not the only one with the hair brained idea to completely alter the All-Star vote to make a statement.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis Gets Leadoff Opportunity

Several days ago I gave you my idea for the Mets’ batting order and it included Kirk Nieuwenhuis as the leadoff hitter, so I was happy to read Adam Rubin’s story he will be given first chance to win that job.
