NL DH for All Star Game
Has it been announced who will be the DH for the Game. I was thinking Votto should get a shot since he is the MVP from last year. This would give him some at bats.

Re: NL DH for All Star Game
I have a feeling that Berkman might be DHing.

Re: NL DH for All Star Game
Beltran is the DH. Holliday in LF, Kemp in CF, Berkman in RF. I'm guessing that Bochy didn't want to move one his LFs out of position.

Re: NL DH for All Star Game
Why is there a DH in an NL park? That's not a good precedent.

Re: NL DH for All Star Game
The DH rule will prevent managers from burning through their lineups and running out of players. Allegedly.
