ATLANTA - The Phillies will find out Monday night who will represent them in the All-Star Game next week. Baseball's worst team will likely be represented by just one player for the second straight season. Interim manager Pete Mackanin said he sees closer Jonathan Papelbon as the most worthy candidate to play for the National League on July 14 in Cincinnati.
"The save numbers aren't there, but when you look at the other numbers, he's been very efficient," Mackanin said. "He's the first guy that comes to mind. I don't know if there's anyone else. He would be a guy that I would have to believe is under consideration.
