NL All-Star Voting 

Both Jeff Kent and Adam Everett hold sizeable leads in the NL All-Star voting.

Here's a look at where all of the Astros regulars stand.

C:
1. Piazza, M. Mets 950,296
2. Ausmus, B. Astros 587,268

1B:
1. Pujols, A. Cardinals 892,603
2. Bagwell, J. Astros 807,564

2B:
1. Kent, J. Astros 1,089,924
2. Giles, M. Braves 382,287

SS:
1. Everett, A. Astros 625,055
2. Renteria, E. Cardinals 545,697

3B:
2. Ramirez, A. Cubs 450,421
3. Ensberg, M. Astros 433,924

OF:
3. Sosa, S. Cubs 920,182
4. Berkman, L. Astros 762,248
5. Biggio, C. Astros 687,721
6. Alou, M. Cubs 550,690
7. Hidalgo, R. Astros 530,377

I'm guessing that NL Manager Jack McKeon will add Berkman as a reserve, and it's almost a lock that Roger Clemens will start on the mound.

I'm actually shocked to see Houston players fare so well. Astros never seem to rank high in the voting. The strong attendance figures certainly help, but with online voting, any team's fans can stuff the ballot box.
