Papelbon Named Phillies' Lone All-Star

On Monday, Jonathan Papelbon was selected as a member of the National League All-Star team by manager Bruce Bochy. Papelbon - the only Phillies player selected to this year's squad - has been one of the lone bright spots on a historically bad Phillies squad, compiling a 1.65 ERA in 31 appearances.

Unfortunately for Papelbon, he has only recorded 14 saves so far this season due to the Phillies' struggles.

That could soon change, as many expect the Phillies to deal Papelbon to another team before the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline, a move Papelbon has made clear that he would welcome.
