With the Double-A Eastern League All-Star Game just two weeks away, the Portland Press Herald's Kevin Thomas is reporting that Sea Dogs pitchers TJ Large (pictured) and Junichi Tazawa, first baseman Lars Anderson, and third baseman Jorge Jimenez have been selected to play for the Northern Division team. Anderson, who is hitting .258/.354/.409 with 8 home runs and 36 RBI so far this year, and Tazawa, who has pitched to a 7-4 record with a 2.92 ERA and was also selected for the Futures Game, were both voted onto the team by fans. Jimenez (.297/.367/.432, 8 home runs, 44 RBI) and Large (3-0, 0.93 ERA, 7 saves) were both selected by a group made up of players, coaches and members of the media. The game is scheduled to be played on July 15 in Trenton, NJ.
