McCutchen is seventh among NL outfielders and has the most votes of any Pirates player. Marte is holding steady at No. 10, while Polanco is 15th.
Harrison ranks well behind Cubs second baseman Ben Zobrist (1,140,808 votes), the Nationals' Daniel Murphy, the Mets' Neil Walker and the Giants' Joe Panik. Jaso has a sizable margin to overcome if he wants to catch up to Paul Goldschmidt's 350,308 vote total.
Cubs players lead the position player balloting at every spot other than behind the plate, where Yadier Molina comes in slightly ahead of Buster Posey. Three Cubs outfielders -- leader Dexter Fowler, No. 4 Jason Heyward and No. 6 Jorge Soler -- have received more votes than McCutchen.
Polanco and Marte rank fifth and sixth, respectively, in FanGraphs' Wins Above Replacement among NL outfielders. McCutchen, off to a slow start and battling a sore thumb, is 17th.
