MLB All-Star Voting

I found the NL First Baseman (Goldschmidt vs Alonso) choice to be the most difficult vote, as both players are very deserving. There were a few other positions that were also difficult choices.
Which AS positions did you guys find the most difficult?

Really? Goldschmidt and Alonso is a tough choice?
WAR
Goldschmidt 4.6 (ranks 2nd in MLB - 1st among position players)
Alonso 2.2 (tied for 68th)Average
Goldschmidt .342 (2nd in MLB)
Alonso .277 (40th in MLB)SLG
Goldschmidt .619 (3rd in MLB)
Alonso .538 (13th in MLB)OPS

Alonso .892 (13th)Alonso is better than Goldschmidt in only 2 categories. HR where is is ahead by 3 and RBIS where he is ahead by 4.

Goldschmidt is definitely having an mvp caliber campaign so far.

Interesting that looking at the voting on MLB.com the NL has two races that are deadlocked
SS Turner and Swanson both sit at 50%
3B Machado and Arenado both sit at 50% -
Honestly, just seeing Springer in the AL outfield ballot was disappointing. He’s not having a great year and isn’t even healthy. There needs to be a way to curtail blind homeboy fan voting. No way six Blue Jays players should be in the second round ballot.

Yeah, Goldy should have been the lock for top vote getter. He's the MVP of the first half for the NL no question. Acuna got it by name only. He's amazing but didn't even start playing until mid May and thus far had been good not great.
Judge of course was deserving.
I think the tough choice for me is Devers v. Ramirez. Arenado and Manny as well.
-
Goldy is an easy pick over Alonso.
