Guillen made the final vote ballot for the all-star game.  Joe Sheehan, of BP, ripped into his inclusion on this ballot in his article today.  I tend to agree with him, he is having a good season, but he is no where near some of the other guys that deserve a spot on the AL team (two Orioles come to mind in Roberts and Markakis):

Once again, the fans get to pick one last All-Star in the wildly overhyped "Final Vote" process. The AL ballot includes arguably the worst player to ever be part of this, Jose Guillen, a corner outfielder/DH with a .297 OBP. He’s not one of the 100 best players in the AL this year, and having him on the ballot rather than Markakis or 50 other guys is a joke.
