DJ LeMahieu, Rockies second baseman, deserves to be an all-star

There is no cheering in the press box.

But there is admiration, appreciation and wonderment.

I bring this up after watching Rockies second baseman DJ LeMahieu Monday night in the Rockies' 11-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.

He went 3-for-5, bumping his average up to .342, second in the National League. He has a .394 on-base percentage.

And, of course, he was flawless in the field.

LeMahieu has driven in 28 runs, third on the team behind Nolan Arenado (45) and Troy Tulowitzki (32). Keep in mind that LeMahieu usually bats near the bottom of the order, and occasionally in the No.
