2007 MLB All-Star Balloting : American League
1st Base
RANK PLAYER NAME NL TEAM TOTAL VOTES
1. Ortiz, D. Red Sox 601,770
2. Giambi, J. Yankees 240,030
3. Morneau, J. Twins 221,520
4. Hafner, T. Indians 176,364
5. Casey, S. Tigers 161,436
This is pretty fair... Ortiz doesn't play much 1B but he does during interleague play... which is essentailly what this AS Game is (NL Home Team). He'll run away with this. An arguement COULD be made that it should be an everyday 1B but all of these guys play under these conditions.... so.....EDIT: Didn't realize Morneau was posting such solid numbers.. he should be featured here....
2nd Base
RANK PLAYER NAME NL TEAM TOTAL VOTES
1. Cano, R. Yankees 322,994
2. Polanco, P. Tigers 282,251
3. Kinsler, I. Rangers 207,170
4. Upton, B.J. Devil Rays 141,720
5. Pedroia, D. Red Sox 141,636
Are you kidding me with this? Cano?
BJ Upton should be running away with this but he plays for the Rays so he'll get no love. This is the worst offender thus far.
Shortstop
RANK PLAYER NAME NL TEAM TOTAL VOTES
1. Jeter, D. Yankees 657,383
2. Tejada, M. Orioles 228,230
3. Guillen, C. Tigers 197,755
4. Lugo, J. Red Sox 180,165
5. Young, M. Rangers 129,307
I agree with this... Jeter is having another stellar year and while he's still not the best defensively he more than makes up for it with the bat.
3rd Base
RANK PLAYER NAME NL TEAM TOTAL VOTES
1. Rodriguez, A. Yankees 843,550
2. Lowell, M. Red Sox 238,566
3. Inge, B. Tigers 122,149
4. Chavez, E. Athletics 96,663
5. Crede, J. White Sox 82,598
No brainer here as well. He's tapered off a BIT from his sick pace but he's still the best 3B overall in the AL.
Catcher
RANK PLAYER NAME NL TEAM TOTAL VOTES
1. Rodriguez, I. Tigers 370,322
2. Mauer, J. Twins 328,974
3. Varitek, J. Red Sox 301,942
4. Posada, J. Yankees 297,928
5. Martinez, V. Indians 140,033
This is a joke right? HOw is posada at 4th? I'm no fan of loading this team up with Yankees but Posada has had the best season of an AL catcher thus far.
Outfield
RANK PLAYER NAME NL TEAM TOTAL VOTES
1. Guerrero, V. Angels 578,430
2. Ramirez, M. Red Sox 449,372
3. Suzuki, I. Mariners 362,245
4. Hunter, T. Twins 278,732
5. Abreu, B. Yankees 278,606
6. Damon, J. Yankees 267,605
7. Ordonez, M. Tigers 261,976
8. Drew, J.D. Red Sox 253,472
9. Sizemore, G. Indians 249,236
10. Matsui, H. Yankees 216,896
11. Sosa, S. Rangers 195,549
12. Crisp, C. Red Sox 178,152
13. Sheffield, G. Tigers 175,849
14. Crawford, C. Devil Rays 147,912
15. Wells, V. Blue Jays 144,923
Manny is slumping and really doesn't deserve it but he'll get in. Abreu and Damon at 5th and 6th is almost as big of a laugher as Cano at 2B
