Dodgers to Send Three to ASG

The rosters for the 2009 Major League Baseball All-Star Game were announced today, and three Dodgers will make the journey to St. Louis. Chad Billingsley, Jonathan Broxton and Orlando Hudson were all named to the National League team. Billingsley is having a breakout year, standing among the league-leaders in strikeouts, ERA and wins. Broxton has become one of the most dominant closers in the game, leading all active closers in strikeouts. Hudson had a career-year before falling into a deep slump, at one point leading the NL in hits. Joe Torre will accompany the three to Missouri, where he will be one of Charlie Manuel's bench coaches.
