MIAMI -- The eyes of the baseball world will be on Marlins Park for the 88th annual All-Star Game on July 11, and the host Miami Marlins have a chance to be well represented.
The Marlins have a number of players worthy of All-Star consideration, and fans now have the chance to start voting for the starting position players.
• VOTE: Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot
In 2016, the Marlins sent four to the All-Star Game in San Diego, with Marcell Ozuna getting the nod to start in center field. Ozuna was a first-time All-Star, and he moved into the starting lineup due to injury.
The Marlins have eight regulars on the ballot: catcher J.T. Realmuto, first baseman Justin Bour, second baseman Dee Gordon, third baseman Martin Prado, shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria, left fielder Ozuna, center fielder Christian Yelich and right fielder Giancarlo Stanton.
Stanton is a three-time All-Star, and Gordon has been selected twice.
Realmuto is emerging as a star behind the plate, and Yelich is regarded as one of the top young players in the game. Prado is a steady veteran.

Fans may cast votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- on computers, tablets and smartphones -- exclusively online using the 2017 Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot until Thursday, June 29, at 11:59 p.m. ET. On smartphones and tablets, fans can also access the ballot via the MLB.com At Bat and MLB.com Ballpark mobile apps. Vote up to five times in any 24-hour period for a maximum of 35 ballots cast.
