The KC Royals offense has been hot all season, and it’s time to start rewarding those who deserve to be in the 2015 All-Star game. Voting has already started, and we are less than two months away from the contest.

Which Royals should make it, and who will be left out?

You could make an argument for nearly every Royals regular save for Omar Infante and the right field platoon of Jarrod Dyson and Paulo Orlando — but all three have been nothing but solid for KC this season.

The starting pitching, outside of Edinson Volquez and Chris Young, has been shaky at best. But this past week, they have been the best in baseball. During the team’s current five-game win streak, the entire pitching staff yielded just three runs, and the starters had their 27-inning scoreless streak snapped in the second inning of Saturday’s 3-2, rain-shortened victory against St. Louis.

The two wins have KC at 28-14 — the best record in baseball.

If the starters continue to pitch as well as their teammates from the bullpen, forget the All-Star game for a handful of players, it’s going be another trip to the World Series for the entire team.

Here what’s buzzing on Fansided.com.

"Sure … you can be a homer and vote a straight KC Royals ticket when filling out your MLB All-Star ballot. The puppet masters of America’s great pastime have ensured voters can uphold the traditions of ignorance and blind loyalty that we exercise in the voting booth. (Heck, they’ve even kept it old-school and allow you to vote up to 35 times, just like the good ol’ days of Pendergast!)"
