We're 40 games into the baseball season (meaning, my Giants have played 40 games). I'll do this again at 60 and 80 - here's the first build of my All-Star ballot. At 80 games, I'll get every team a representative and fully fill out each league's roster. There will be a good deal of movement between here and there. Actually, I'm writing a draft a week before posting it, so by the time we actually get to the 40 game mark I will have had to do significant editing.
