All-Star Balloting: Utley Leads NL, Ibanez 3rd Overall
Phillies Nation —
Chase Utley has overtaken Albert Pujols for the overall lead in National League All-Star voting. And hot on their trail? Raul Ibanez.
Ibanez has taken the lead in the outfield with 1,897,905 votes, good for third overall. He leads Ryan Braun by more than 200,000 votes.
Utley leads Orlando Hudson in second baseman voting by more than 1,300,000 votes. That’s completely insurmountable; Utley will start at second base for the fourth consecutive year.
Meanwhile, other Phillies are making climbs toward the top:
First base: Ryan Howard remains in second, some 1,000,000 votes behind Pujols.
Third base: Pedro Feliz keeps fourth place. He’s 400,000 ...
