Pujols, Utley Vie For NL Lead In All-Star Votes

Jun 29, 2009 3:36 PM EST

Seven-time All-Star first baseman Albert Pujols of the Cardinals remains the overall leading vote-getter in balloting for the 80th All-Star Game.

Phillies second baseman Chase Utley is still in contention to repeat as his League's most popular player in the final N.L. balloting update.

Pujols currently leads all players with 3,602,765 votes as he seeks top overall vote-getter honors for the second time in his career and his third such N.L. crown.

Utley, who took the N.L.'s top spot last year with 3,889,602 votes, is in line for his fourth consecutive start with 3,510,082 votes.

On the left side of the infield, Marlins shortstop Hanley Ramirez is fending off Utley's teammate, three-time N.L. All-Star Jimmy Rollins, for first place at shortstop with 2,026,174 votes, while another N.L. East competition features Mets third baseman David Wright, who has collected 2,049,487 votes, ahead of Chipper Jones of the Braves.

Behind the plate, Pujols' teammate Yadier Molina continues to make a strong bid for his Midsummer Classic debut with 1,846,629 votes. Molina, who has led from the outset, is in front of a pack that includes All-Stars Brian McCann of the Braves, Ivan Rodriguez of the Astros and Jason Kendall of the Brewers. Yadier's older brother Bengie of the Giants is in fifth place.

In the outfield, Raul Iba?ez of the Phillies is in a commanding position to be selected for his first All-Star Game with 2,970,139 votes. Ryan Braun of the Brewers still ranks as the only N.L. outfielder who has been among the leaders each week with 2,654,061 votes. The third spot remains closely contested among veteran All-Stars Carlos Beltran (2,085,028) of the Mets and Alfonso Soriano (1,916,598) of the Cubs.

Cardinals Sign 16-Year-Old Dominican Outfielder

Jun 28, 2009 8:38 AM EST

The Cardinals have agreed in principle on a signing bonus for 16-year-old Dominican outfielder Wagner Mateo.

The deal would make Mateo the club's highest-priced amateur acquisition out of the Caribbean.

Cardinals general manager John Mozeliak refused to confirm a deal being in place, citing baseball's prohibition against officially signing players out of the Caribbean until July 2.
