The Red Sox outfielder is the #1 vote-getter among AL outfielders. The overall leader among all positions is Evan Longoria, which is a tremendous breakthrough for the young man, because he's doubling A-Rod at third base, and A-Rod is usually the top vote-getter.The competition is mighty stiff at 1B, where Miguel Cabrera is fourth - despite hitting .355!
If the voting were to end today, six of the eight AL starters would be 30 or younger, with only Ichiro and Jeter to represent the old guard. So far there are no cases where an older, fading star would be awarded a spot undeservingly, anthough Griffey is close to Ichiro for the fourth OF slot.
