Gwinnett Stripers News Release


LAWRENCEVILLE, GA - Pitchers Julio Teheran and Todd Redmond, outfielders Jose Constanza and Luis Durango, designated hitter Stefan Gartrell and first baseman Ernesto Mejia are just a few of the Gwinnett Braves on the ballot for the 2012 Triple-A All-Star Game, released on Friday, May 25 by MiLB.com. Online voting, sponsored by Pert Plus, continues through Friday, June 22 at MiLB.com. A link to the ballot is also online at GwinnettBraves.com.

Teheran, the 2011 International League Most Valuable Pitcher and Rookie of the Year, eyes a Triple-A All-Star bid for the second-consecutive season with Gwinnett. Gartrell, the winner of the Triple-A Home Run Derby as part of last year's festivities in Salt Lake City, UT also hopes to represent the G-Braves on the IL squad once again, as does Constanza.

Mejia, currently seventh in the league with 32 RBI and eighth in batting average at .304, hopes to be elected to the game in his first Triple-A season. Durango, who leads the league in stolen bases with 22 in 27 attempts, also looks to add "All-Star" to his resume in his first season as a G-Brave. Redmond, a fourth-year member of the Gwinnett rotation, ranks 10th in the IL in ERA at 2.63 and hopes to make his first Triple-A All-Star Game as a result.

Here's a look at all of the G-Braves currently on the ballot:

Third Base: Joey Terdoslavich

Catcher: J.C. Boscan
