Interesting is that while the Marlins started slow this season, it was a group of young players, such as Todd Dunwoody, one of their best outfield prospects who came up to replace the injured Devon White, that got them going toward a winning record.

The problem with the Dodgers is that nobody is hitting up to his potential. When that happens, the turmoil will be subside. Meanwhile, the Dodgers make the playoffs despite slow starts. They have enough pitching to catch the Giants in the NL West. Fan balloting to pick NL and AL starters for the All-Star Game July 8 in Cleveland will be announced Monday.
