Well, fans have so far voted six Red Sox into the All-Star Game, but only three of them (Adrian Beltre, David Ortiz, and Jon Lester) will be attending. The other three (Clay Buchholz, Dustin Pedroia, and Victor Martinez) are currently on the disabled list. Pedroia broke a bone in his left foot, Victor broke his left thumb, and Buchholz has a hamstring injury.
Meanwhile, fans can still vote for the final All-Star spot, with Kevin Youkilis, Nick Swisher, Michael Young, Delmon Young, and Paul Konerko all vying for the last spot. Kevin Youkilis has a slim lead today, but voting continues until Thursday. Red Sox fans, Youkilis needs your help! Vote for Youk at http://mlb.mlb.com/index.jsp! In the National League, Joey Votto, Ryan Zimmerman, Billy Wagner, Carlos Gonzalez, and Heath Bell try to win the final spot, with Votto holding a tight lead.
Trivia
Did you know that both Jon Lester and Clay Buchholz have thrown no-hitters?
Did you know that currently, Kevin Youkilis has about the same stats as David Ortiz, but Youk has a better on-base percentage?
See you tomorrow!
