Poll: How many Philadelphia Phillies are All-Stars?

This week’s poll question is an interesting one. With the All-Star ballots out in the stadiums and voting online well underway, how many Phillies will make the All-Star team?
There are the usual candidates like Chase Utley and Ryan Howard, as well as some surprise candidates, like Raul Ibanez and Jayson Werth. Will Cole Hamels make his first All-Star appearance?
The Phillies may have the edge in getting an extra player (or two) on the roster, with Charlie Manuel heading the National League team, a perk (obligation) of representing the league in the World Series.
Your choices are anywhere between one (every team is represented so one is the bare minimum) and five (or more). Go ahead and cast your vote and then leave a comment with your guesses as to who will make it to St. Louis.
Here’s the catch: Manuel does not count, only players on the roster. Also, possible Home Run Derby contestants do not count either.
