The first round of American League All-Star balloting was released and Vladimir Guerrero leads all outfielders with 578,430 votes, nearly 130,000 more than the Red Sox’s Manny Ramirez. No other Angels player is in the top five of any other position.
Based on their present pace, at least three Angels pitchers John Lackey, Kelvim Escobar and Francisco Rodriguez have a chance to be named to the squad after the voting is complete.
The All-Star Game is July 10 at San Francisco’s AT&T Park.
