Sliding Into Home: A Yankees Blog: Sheppard Improving, May Be Back For All Star Game

Go back to April 1st and write that headline…but he’s at the top of the league in wins, and the game is at The Stadium. Amazing. Why not?

>The Mets Police comment that there may not be any Mets on the All-Star team got me to thining. Yes, the votes are still coming in so this could change, but thought I’d take a shot at what players will make up the NL All-Star team next month (assuming the current vote leaders remain so).

All teams are represented. There are 11 pitchers (7 starters and 4 relievers)

The Cubs have 5 players, while six teams are represented by only one.
For the record the Mets have 3.
