The first National League All-Star balloting update was released on Wednesday, with just one Marlins player appearing among the top vote-getters.

Marlins manager Don Mattingly said he doesn't like to get into discussions involving the individual. He's more focused on the team aspect of the game. He shrugged off the absence of Marlins such as Marcell Ozuna (.330), Martin Prado (.321) and Christian Yelich (.317).
"A lot of times it's who promotes their guys," Mattingly said. "Some teams do that really well; some teams don't. Our attendance is not as good as a lot of places, so that doesn't help our guys either."
Furthermore, Mattingly said he doesn't believe that All-Star voting reflects the abilities of the team.
"That's just more of a voting on people who they know," he said. "Our guys will get known over time if we play well. People will know who they are."
