If the 2004 All-Star Game was tomorrow here are the Yankees players that would start by their position.
1B - DJ Cruz Jr.
3B - Ryan Cruz
LF - Alex Jones
CF - Scott Rudy
RF - J.R. Neuman
DH - John Black
Here are the Phillies starters if this game was tomorrow.
P - Brett Bernard
C - Trevor Osgood
1B - Brett Bernard (although he would pitch not play first)
3B - Wilson Avez
SS - Damion Cruz
LF - Tim Stewart
RF - Raydogg
DH - Peter Brock
So now you have it. We would have 6 Yankees starters in the 9 man line-up and 8 Phillies starters but only 6 would be in the line-up because since the DH rule is in effect and Brock is playing that, Bernard will not hit when he's pitching. And you would see someone else play first because even though Bernard leads in the Pitchers and 1st Basemen poll. He can't do both, so he'll pitch first then move over there.
