Beltran Remains Favorite For All-Star

Anthony Di Como at Mets.com, writes about Carlos Beltran and him leading the All-Star voting:

Carlos Beltran has seen some tough times recently, his effectiveness sapped first by a prolonged slump, and then by a frightening injury.

Mets fans don't care. And why should they? He's still Carlos Beltran, the very same Carlos Beltran who's been an All-Star in each of the past three seasons, and who led the Mets last year with 41 home runs. This year is shaping up no differently, as Beltran -- despite his woes -- remains the National League's leading vote-getter with 758,457, joining David Wright, Jose Reyes and Paul Lo Duca as tops at their positions through two weeks of voting.
