ANAHEIM -- He isn't the type to give those famed motivational speeches. He won't criticize a teammate for a lack of effort. He will never find reason to call a players-only meeting.
The Angels have other veterans that lead in those conventional manners. Vladimir Guerrero chooses to do it with his bat.
Guerrero's name can be found all over the American League statistical leaderboard. Now it can also be found on the list of 2006 American League Hank Award Award finalists.
The first phase of balloting for the Hank Aaron Award was conducted from Aug. 2-31, allowing fans to vote for the most outstanding offensive performer in each league. One nominee from each club was among the choices, and that fan vote reduced the field to the top six vote-getters per league.

Those two players with the most votes will be announced at a presentation ceremony during the World Series.
