3B Chone Figgins has started 75 of the Angels' first 76 games this season. But he's not asking for a rest. In fact, he wouldn't mind working right through the All-Star break. "It would mean a lot to me," he said of the very real possibility that he will be named to the American League All-Star team for the first time. "It would mean that -- how can I say this? -- I'm a true big-leaguer. But more than that. I don't know what word to use, but this is my sixth year in the big leagues and I've been playing long enough now that every year I've got a chance to make it (to the All-Star game) if I put up numbers."
