"The latest American League All-Star voting update makes it more and more likely that the Rangers will have only one starter on the AL All-Star team: MVP Josh Hamilton.

Hamilton, who missed six weeks of the season with a fractured bone in his right arm, is third among outfielders in the voting. He is about 350,000 votes ahead of Jacoby Ellsbury, but just over 600,000 votes behind Curtis Granderson.

Michael Young, who led the voting two weeks ago when the first update was released, has fallen significantly behind Boston's David Ortiz at designated hitter. Young now trails by more than 500,000 votes.

"I haven't looked at it and I'm not even sure when the updates come out," Young said. "But I appreciate every fan who has voted for me. My focus, though, is on what happens between the lines. It always has been, it always will be."

If there is to be a second Ranger among the starters, it is likely to be third baseman Adrian Beltre. He is second behind Alex Rodriguez in the voting, trailing by about 300,000 votes."
