06/13: A-Rod and Jeter Leading All-Star Voting
Posted by: Patrick
A-Rod and Jeter are leading all-star voting, not just for the AL, but for all of baseball. The results as of June 12 show that A-Rod has 1,404,001 votes. The closest behind him at the hot corner is Mike Lowell with 528,895. Jeter has 1,161,162 with Carlos Guillen (409,813) in 2nd at short stop. Here is how other Yankees show up in the results:
First Base
3. Giambi, 358,164 votes
Second Base
2. Cano, 520,506 (trails Polanco by 51,732)
Catcher
2. Posada, 567,153 (trails Rodriguez by 112,250)
Outfield
7. Damon, 409,285
9. Abreu, 402,102
11. Matsui, 360,477
Posada is doing better than Pudge at pretty much every category. Posada's OPS is .967 whereas Rodriguez's is .762. Matsui being the 3rd of the Yankees outfielders is a little strange, as well.
