It seems that this year the The New York Yankees won't be sending more than 1 (maybe 2) players to the All Star game being held in Yankee Stadium. Johnny Damon had a stellar month in May, but can he keep it up? Alex Rodriguez went down and bounced back nicely. Derek Jeter has been up and down all year, and Jorge Posada is still out. With the All Star game only about a month away it will be intresting to see which New York Yankees will be representing for the home team. I honestly believe that the Yankees, if they do send someone to the star studded event, will actually have done so because of the marquee names they have on their roster and not their players stats. Yankee fans are not even buzzing with anticipation being that the big weekend will be held in New York. It seems that New York fans are actually anticipating not having a Yankee representative starting, or even playing for that matter. Although the Yankees usually heat up around the end of July, I don't see them competing this year for a run at the playoffs. Chien-Ming Wang is the only player on this team that could get the nod strictly on numbers. Well, we will wait and see how things turn out but I already know, maybe next year in the new Stadium guys!!!
