Pedroia, Youkilis In All-Star Voting Dog-Fights With Just Two Days Left In Voting
By Administrator | June 30, 2009
With just two days remaining in the fan balloting for the All-Star Game, Red Sox 1B Kevin Youkilis (1,915,303) has re-taken the lead over Yankees Mark Teixeira (1,875,256) in voting for the American League’s starting lineup for next month’s Mid-Summer Classic in St Louis.
After trailing by more than 35,000 votes last week, Youkilis now holds a precarious lead of just 40,047 votes.
At second base, Dustin Pedroia (2,163,270) lopped more than 50,000 votes off last weeks deficit and now trails Texas 2B Ian Kinsler (2,170,100) by just 6,830 votes.
Red Sox left fielder Jason Bay (2,609,913) continues to hold a commanding lead over Seattle’s Ichiro Suzuki (1,802,826) in the outfield, while Sox Sox center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury remains in sixth with 1,355,133 votes.
Joe Mauer (C, MIN), Derek Jeter (SS, NYY) and Evan Longoria (3B, TB) all hold commanding leads at their respective positions and will not be overtaken… each player has more than doubled the votes received by his closest competitor.
TWO DAYS LEFT, RSN! Let’s send Dustin and Kevin to St. Louis! Vote here.
