From today's PiPress:

All-star notice: New York Yankees manager Joe Torre, the manager of the American League all-stars this season, said before Friday's Mets-Yankees rainout at Yankee Stadium that Twins closer Joe Nathan made a strong first impression on him when he watched Nathan pitch the ninth inning against Boston on television Thursday afternoon.

"He was lights out," Torre said. "He's got great stuff, for sure."

All-star stuff? "He's certainly a guy you have to look to," said Torre. "He got my attention."

It must be VERY trying for Joe Torre to have to pick one player from every team. He can't pick all Yankees! Truly, it's a great burden, and wholly unfair since only the Yankees are worthy of being All-Stars.
