Minnesota Twins: Brian Dozier Doesn’t Win Final Vote, Finishes Second

Well, shoot, it didn’t work. The Kansas City RoyalsMike Moustakasis going to theAll-Star Game as the winner of the Final Vote. Yes, our valiant effort to getBrian Dozierto the All-Star Game has failed as Dozier placed in second.

Moustakas got a lot of votes:

Six Royals are already on the All-Star roster,Alex Gordonwill not be playing due to injury, but that’s still a lot of Royals. The Royals are 5.5 games ahead of the Twins going into play on Friday night, but the Twins only get one All-Star representative in perfect closerGlen Perkins.

Dozier’s only shot now to make the roster is for an injury to happen in the last couple days of first half play and even then it’s no guarantee. Dozier seems to be the largest All-Star snub, but the All-Star Game never really can go to plan.
