All-Star ballot update #4: Aaron Judge almost has three million votes and other Yankees are closing in

By -
With the Midsummer Classic less than three weeks away, the final battles for All-Star starting positions are tighter than ever. Luckily for the Yankees’ star right fielder, he does not have to worry about losing his starting job. Judge has more than 2.6 million votes and has rightfully earned the top spot in the AL voting for the third week in a row.

Matt Holliday and Starlin Castro remain second for their respective positions. Gary Sanchez is now third among catchers and is not far behind former Yankee Brian McCann as they are separated by less than six thousand votes. Didi Gregorius remains at third place among short stops and Brett Gardner sits at eighth place, but both players are running out of time to make a push up the ballot rankings. Aaron Hicks is still nowhere to be found on the outfielder rankings due to his write-in candidacy.


With the game inching closer and voting ending on June 29, the Yankees need your help more than ever to help reach the game as a starting player. Here are the hashtags the Yankees are using to advertise their ASG worthy players and the link to where you can vote five times a day and up to 35 times total.

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year.

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record.
