Around SBN: How NBA Draft Lottery Results Affect Prospects' High Hopes

Mike Minor and Julio Teheran make the MLB All-Star Futures Game rosters. Great for both of these guys to be thought of so highly... though it's not a reach for either. Former Braves prospect Gorkys Hernandez also makes the team.

Does Gorkys' dad make the rosters or something?

The dude makes it every year and hasn’t done much of anything since 2008.

I was thinking the exact same thing. He’s had 2 straight sub-par seasons and has made 2 straight Future’s Games.

This is why they call it the "Futures" game

and not the “Top Prospects” game. Many of the players aren’t even great prospects, they’re just guys that have high profiles (in Gorkys’ case, because he’s been a part of 2 high-profile trades) or token picks so that each org is represented.

Minor and Teheran are beyond deserving, of course.

Good link

Austin Jackson has had an excellent year in the field for the Tigers, oddly enough.

Is he not doing well in the Majors? Cause when I saw him last year in AAA he was pretty great. He was definitely one of the better players I saw all season. I certainly thought more of him than Desmond Jennings.

Seriously.

Maybe there’s a lack of good candidates to play outfield for the world team? Still, you’d think they could do better than a guy who has put up a sub-.700 OPS over the last year and a half…

Sucks

Sucks that only two per team can play. Vizcaino and Delgado were both well deserving.

exciting

i wanna see what Teheran has

I think you can put more stock in his minor league career than his Futures game performance.

that doesn’t mean you can’t see the kind of stuff he has. Looking at stats or a scouting report doesn’t really do it justice.

Gorkys’ trade counterpart, Nate McLouth, will start in Center Field in this year’s MLB Pasts Game, flanked by Rocco Baldelli and Corey Patterson.
