• VOTE NOW: 2018 Camping World MLB All-Star Ballot
Shortstop Brandon Crawford and catcher Buster Posey were the top vote-getters in their respective positions in the initial tally. Crawford, with 466,021 votes, has a commanding early lead over Atlanta's Dansby Swanson (225,182).
"Not surprised at all," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said of Crawford. "He's a great athlete, you just appreciate their talent. This guy, for what he's done on both sides of the ball for this long, it's one of the best runs I've seen."
In his past 36 games, heading into Monday's series opener with the Marlins, Crawford hit a MLB-best .439 (58-for-132) with six homers, 16 doubles and 27 RBIs.

"It's the first week of voting, hopefully it'll keep going," said Crawford, whose only All-Star campaign came as a reserve in 2015. "I appreciate it for sure and would love to start the All-Star Game. To be a starter in the All-Star Game, you would definitely be getting the fans' vote, so I would definitely appreciate those votes and the people recognizing my flight."
Posey, a five-time All-Star, leads all catchers with 281,331 votes. He has a narrow lead over the Cubs' Willson Contreras (259,427).
Brandon Belt is third among first basemen with 162,750 votes, and Joe Panik ranks fifth among second basemen with 62,325 votes.
