What is Billy whining about?

What is Billy whining about? Billy Butler, 1st baseman for the Kansas City Royals baseball team, thinks he should be higher in the All Star voting? What is he thinking? He isn’t even close to being considered one of the best first basemen in the American league. He is 3rd in the American league in batting average, 5th in on base percentage, 8th in RBI, 10th may I repeat 10th in home runs, and 4th in doubles. Hardly the numbers of the best 1st basemen in the American league. Lets see,  Morneau, Cabrera,  Teixeira,  or Konerko. I think I would take any of them. Don’t get me wrong, I do like Billy Butler. He is still above average first baseman in the American league, but that is all. Not an all star.
