what I'm saying is, maybe it's in reference to the players chosen on the players ballot, not the fan ballot It obviously is(being referred to), since fans don't vote on pitchers, but the players vote by position as well. and Soriano was voted in by the fans, therefore this wouldn't come into play The host was probably an idiot(he's a sports radio host), but the way this is phrased says nothing about how the player got there, just if one needs to be replaced they go to the next highest.
