Following the Dodgers and Exploring The Team’s Past
[powered by WordPress.]
Russell Martin is the Dodger’s only All-Star voted in this year.
This is Martin’s second straight NL All-Star appearance, though he will be backup to Cubs catcher Geovany Soto. Martin is the team leader of average, runs, walks, and on base percentage, and leads the NL in all of those categories for catchers. It will be Martin’s first time visiting or playing at Yankee Stadium, and likely his last before the Yankees move to their new stadium next year.
After the All-Star Game, the Dodgers will welcome back Brad Penny, who is expected to miss his starts before the All-Star break. Chan Ho Park will remain his replacement starter until Penny returns to the rotation later next week.
