American League manager John Farrell of the Boston Red Sox announced that Jose Bautista would be his starter in right field as voted by the fans. For Bautista, its a fifth All-Star selection, all in a row. Hes the American Leagues starting right fielder for the fourth consecutive season. Bautistas hitting .300/.423/.529 in 83 games. His 60 walks and on-base percentage of .423 are the best in baseball. Bautista, for the second time, was the leading vote getter. “Its great to have the support and I feel thankful and appreciative of all the votes,” said Bautista. “Its nice to know that people are paying attention and theyre watching you succeed. To just know that people are paying attention and watching is always a pleasure to me. It takes a lot to sit in front of your computer and vote or go to the stadium and fill out ballots and take up some of your time. Im always thankful for that.” Edwin Encarnacion receives his second All-Star honour and second consecutive. He was picked by Farrell, a managers selection. Encarnacion, as of Sunday, is baseballs leader with 70 RBI. His 26 home runs are second only to the White Soxs Jose Abreu (27). He will not appear in the All-Star Game due to a right quadriceps strain. Left-hander Mark Buehrle is a players selection and makes his fifth career All-Star appearance and his first since 2009. He was the starting pitcher for the American League in 2005, the same year his White Sox went on to win the World Series. Buehrle is 10-6 with a 2.60 ERA this season. He was selected by his peers in the players vote. “Obviously that means a lot because guys around the league are kind of paying attention and recognize what youre doing out there on the field; that means a lot,” said Buehrle. “Even if the manager selects you its obviously great but if the players select you its a little bit more.” Last season a Blue Jays team that would end up with 74 wins sent four players to the All-Star Game (Bautista, Encarnacion, Brett Cecil and Steve Delabar).

"Im confident, but Im usually always confident and believe in myself, and know whenever I walk on the court I always believe I can win the match. But Im just trying to take it one week at a time.
