Matt Kemp still has a chance to get to St. Louis on July 14, as he is one of the Final Vote candidates in the National League.
The other choices are Christian Guzman of the Nationals, Mark Reynolds of the Diamondbacks, Pablo Sandoval of the Giants, and Shane Victorino of the Phillies.
I was a little surprised that it's Kemp getting the chance, but his numbers speak for itself: .303 AVG, 10 HR, 44 RBIs, 19 SB. So, there's an opportunity for a 20-40 season.
What surprised me the most was that it wasn't Casey Blake. His numbers aren't as exciting with a .287 AVG, 11 HR, 48 RBIs. But, I think his glove and steady leadership has been a huge reason why the Dodgers have maintained a big lead in the NL West.
Either way, I can't complain. Let's all make a push to get Kemp to the All-Star Game by voting HERE.
