Royally bummed: David Price wants MLB to end All-Star ballot stuffing
One person who isn't overly excited to watch the Royals take on the National League in this year's Major League Baseball All-Star Game (July 14 on FOX) is Tigers pitcher David Price.
As of the last vote tally on Monday, seven Royals players (Eric Hosmer, Alcides Escobar, Mike Moustakas, Alex Gordon, Lorenzo Cain, Salvador Perez and Kendrys Morales) are set to make the starting lineup.

This is not sitting well with Price, who would like to see his teammate, Miguel Cabrera (.330, 12 homers, 39 RBI, 32 runs vs. Hosmer's .301, seven homers, 35 RBI, 22 runs) make the team.
Price voiced his complaints Wednesday on Twitter.
