Sure there are about five weeks left in the 2010 MLB All-Star Game voting but right now if Red Sox Nation wants to see any of it’s players in the starting lineup, we’re going to have get voting.
With the first ballot totals released on Monday afternoon, the only Boston Red Sox player that is even close to the top of the voting is second baseman Dustin Pedroia, who trails Yankees second baseman Robinson Cano by about a 112,000 votes. Heck if it wasn’t for Evan Longoria of the Rays, the entire Yankees infield would the starters as of right now.
Right now, Kevin Youkilis is 5th in the voting at first base, Adrian Beltre is 4th in voting at third base, Victor Martinez is 3rd in the voting at catcher and David Ortiz is 5th in the voting at the DH spot. None of the Red Sox three outfielders on the ballot are in the top 15.
So fans of Red Sox Nation, it’s time to vote Red Sox across the 2010 MLB All-Star Game Ballot.
