Izzy That Great?

Tuesday, June 14th, 2005

As a follow up to our earlier post “Hail Cesar”, we are pleased to report that Cesar Izturis has surged ahead of Nomar and Eckstein for the top spot in voting for starting NL shortstop at the July 12 All Star game. Don’t stop now though – – you know St. Louis has some great fans and they’ll be cranking up the campaign for their guy as well. MLB rules permit you to vote 25 times online. Have you stuffed the ballot box—err–voted today?

From a June 14 report at MLB.com:

NEW YORK (Ticker) — Cesar Izturis of the Los Angeles Dodgers continued his recent surge to grab the lead among shortstops in the latest National League All-Star voting, released Tuesday.

Not among the top five at his position when the first NL balloting results were released on June 1, Izturis picked up 209,284 votes in the past week to take the top spot ahead of David Eckstein of the St. Louis Cardinals and injured Nomar Garicaparra of the Chicago Cubs with 469,967. Eckstein is in second with 458,407.

The 25-year-old Izturis, who won his first Gold Glove in 2004, is batting .310 with a home run and 20 RBI in 60 games. His 28 multi-hit games are the most in the majors.
