While Boston Red Sox outfielder Jason Bay continues to lead all outfielders in voting, Sox first baseman Kevin Youkilis has fallen behind by 35,632 to Mark Teixeira of the Yankees at first base.
Dustin Pedroia is trailing Ian Kinsler from the Rangers by about 59,000 votes at second base while Jacoby Ellsbury has moved up to sixth in the outfield just 300,000 votes out of third. J.D. Drew is eleventh in voting in the outfield.
Jason Varitek remains in second with almost no chance to catch Joe Mauer from the Twins at catcher. Mike Lowell is fourth in voting at third base and Jed Lowrie, despite not playing too much, is fifth in voting at shortstop.
With just under 10 days to vote, it’s time for Red Sox Nation to step up to the plate and vote Red Sox. And my friend Kristen would really appreciate it if you could vote for the Nationals’ Ryan Zimmerman at third base and Adam Dunn in the outfield in the NL voting.
Vote totals coming up after the jump.
