AL All-Star Balloting, June 16

Grady Sizemore is the only Cleveland Indians player listed among the vote-getters for the All-Star Game. All positions list the top five, with the exception of outfielders, which display the top 15 (three positions). 

The Red Sox lead the way with nine on the list, including five at No. 1. That also translates into the fact that they have someone in the top five for every fielded position.

The Yankees are second, with nine and two at No. 1, again someone for every position ranks in the top five. They are currently third in the AL East behind Boston and Tampa Bay.

The Tigers and Rangers come in third with six apiece. Detroit and Texas are both below .500, and both are one team away from being in the basement of their respective divisions.

The White Sox, the AL Central division leaders, have five.

The Rays have three players making the list, six less than the Yankees, who trail them in the standings by three-and-a-half games.

The Twins and Angels each have two representatives to date, even though Los Angeles sports the second-best record in the American League, and they are first in the AL West.

The Mariners, Indians, and Orioles each have one representative.

The Oakland A’s are the only team not represented on the list that are better than .500.  They have a 38-31 mark thus far.

Six of the teams on the list are below .500. 

The voting is about individual players and does not necessarily reflect how well their respective teams are performing.

Voting ends 11:59 PM on July 2.
