The second round of balloting for the American League All-Star voting is out and we still don’t find any members of the Boston Red Sox at the top. And with four weeks to go, we’ve got some voting to do to get them to the top.
The only player on the Red Sox near the top of the voting is second baseman Dustin Pedroia who is still 324,000 votes behind the leader Robinson Cano. And once again thanks to Evan Longoria of the Tampa Bay Rays who is preventing an all-Yankees infield right now.
First baseman Kevin Youkilis sits in fourth place 312,000 votes behind Mark Teixeira. Third baseman Adrian Beltre is in fourth place, 725,000 votes behind Longoria while Victor Martinez is 918,000 votes in third place behind Joe Mauer at the catching position. David Ortiz is 490,000 votes behind Vladimir Guererro in fourth place at the DH position.
None of the Red Sox outfielders are in the top 15 of the voting.
So fans of Red Sox Nation, it’s time to vote Red Sox across the 2010 MLB All-Star Game Ballot.
A full look at the voting totals after the jump.
