With the 88th All-Star Game presented by MasterCard exactly three weeks away, the Royals' Eric Hosmer is making moves in the voting for the starting lineups, vaulting to the top spot among American League first basemen.
Major League Baseball released the fourth update of the AL side of the Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot on Tuesday, and no player made a bigger jump in the leaderboards than Hosmer, who leapfrogged both the Tigers' Miguel Cabrera and the Athletics' Yonder Alonso to take over the position lead.
The remainder of the top vote-getters at each position remained the same, though close races are being waged, especially for the third outfield spot and at designated hitter.
