Jeter still leads AL All-Star balloting
Baseball Betting Lines
06/30/2009 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter remained the overall leader among American League players in fan balloting for the 2009 All-Star Game.
Jeter, who surpassed Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Evan Longoria for the top spot last week, has received 3,046,813 votes. Longoria remains a close second with 2,988,363 votes and both are comfortably ahead at their respective positions.
A likely lock for his fourth straight All-Star start, Jeter has a lead of 1,627,314 votes over Tampa Bay's Jason Bartlett with just three days remaining in the balloting.
Longoria, a reserve All-Star as a rookie last year, is almost a certainty to make his first start in the Mid-Summer Classic. He has a lead of 1,634,044 votes over perennial All-Star Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees at the hot corner.
The tightest races remain on the right side of the infield at first base and second base.
Boston's Kevin Youkilis has again moved in front of New York's Mark Teixeira at first. Teixeira had vaulted Youkilis last week, but the Red Sox slugger, who is now playing third base in Mike Lowell's absence, has 1,915,303 votes and leads Teixeira by just 40,047.
Texas' Ian Kinsler has a narrow lead over reigning AL MVP Dustin Pedroia of Boston at second. Kinsler's margin has been trimmed to a slim 6,830 votes after it was fewer than 59,000 last week.
Minnesota's Joe Mauer is still well ahead of Boston's Jason Varitek at catcher. Mauer has 2,851,819 votes to Varitek's 1,399,946.
The three starting outfield slots are held by Boston's Jason Bay, Seattle's Ichiro Suzuki and Texas' Josh Hamilton. The Angels' Torii Hunter is fourth and trails Hamilton by 144,981 votes for the final starting spot.
All-Star squads for both leagues will be announced on Sunday, July 5.
The 80th All-Star Game will be played July 14 at Busch Stadium in St. Louis.
