SAN FRANCISCO -- Catcher Buster Posey leads the contingent of Giants named to the Esurance MLB All-Star Game ballot for the 2017 All-Star Game presented by MasterCard.
Posey, a four-time All-Star who has been elected to start the Midsummer Classic three times in fan voting (2012, '15, '16), will be eligible for election along with five teammates who are former All-Star Game participants: first baseman Brandon Belt, second baseman Joe Panik, shortstop Brandon Crawford, third baseman Eduardo Nunez and right fielder Hunter Pence.
Belt joined the National League All-Star squad last year thanks to the Esurance MLB All-Star Game Final Vote, which always prompts plenty of fan interest.
Left fielder Jarrett Parker and center fielder Denard Span round out the Giants' representation on the ballot.
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.
