Fan voting is vital to maintaining fan interest in the All Star Game and baseball in general. That being said, I believe the system isn't working. I'm in favor of weighting the voting to make fan votes worth 50% of the total and giving the Baseball Writers Association of America the other 50%. Writers aren't going to engage in hometown campaigns (Reyes) or rely on player familiarity (Jeter), but rather they'll reward the best and most deserving players.
