The first wave of numbers for the American League All-Star voting is out and it looks like AROD is the leading vote getter. Right now, Big Papi is the leading vote getter from the Red Sox and also of first baseman in the AL. Looks like the Kevin Youkilis write-in campaign might not work. I think he’ll make it based on his play anyways. Jim Leyland would be dumb not to pick him.

Here is a look at the numbers. Red Sox players are in red.
