NEW YORK -- Didi Gregorius speaks four languages and carries an art sketchbook on road trips, but the Yankees' renaissance man is content to allow his teammates do the communicating when it comes to his candidacy for the American League Esurance MLB All-Star Game Final Vote.
"I'm going to let the team do what they have to do," Gregorius said. "I'm just going to go out there and play the game. I would like to go for the first time and experience it. I'd be happy with the one time that I went."

Hoping for his first All-Star selection, Gregorius remains in third place behind Mike Moustakas of the Royals and Xander Bogaerts of the Red Sox. Gregorius is ahead of the Rangers' Elvis Andrus and the Rays' Logan Morrison.
"Personally, I think Didi has the numbers to make the All-Star Game," Yankees catcher Gary Sanchez said. "And putting that aside, he's a great teammate and great person. He deserves to be an All-Star."
Until 4 p.m. ET today, fans can fill out unlimited ballots at yankees.com/vote or cast up to 35 ballots by texting 'A3' to 89269. From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. ET on Thursday, any tweet that includes #SirDidi4Sure will count toward his vote total.
The Yankees have sweetened the pot by dangling an opportunity to sit in the right-field 'Judge's Chambers' on Sunday to fans who vote via text or online and post a screenshot with #SirDidi4Sure.
The 27-year-old Gregorius is batting .301/.329/.477 with 12 doubles, 10 home runs and 38 RBIs in 60 games. He hit a two-run double in the fifth inning of Wednesday's 7-6 loss to the Blue Jays.

"I think Didi deserves to go," right-hander Luis Severino said. "If you look at the top five shortstops right now, Didi's going to be in it. He can hit. He can throw. He plays good defense."
Gregorius hopes to become the sixth Yankees All-Star heading to Miami, joining Dellin Betances, Starlin Castro, Aaron Judge, Sanchez and Severino.
"If I get voted in, I'll be happy with that," Gregorius said. "If not, there's always next year or the year after that."
