Baseball America Writeup (by J.J. Cooper):(I don't know enough about prospects to do a good writeup)

 

NEW YORK CITY—With a 2 p.m. scheduled start time on Sunday, the Futures Game is not the highlight of All-Star week for casual fans. Those fans are more likely to pack the park for the home run derby on Monday or the major league All-Star game on Tuesday.

 

But if you’re a scout, a general manager or just a dedicated fan of prospects, Sunday’s Futures Game is the must-watch event of All-Star week. Nowhere else can baseball executives and scouts see this many top prospects in one game all year. Seven of the top 10 prospects in our Midseason Top 50 Prospects list are in the game (an eighth had to pull out because of injury). Overall, 21 of the top 50 prospects in the game will be in New York.

 

As happens every year, the initial announced rosters and the final gameday rosters have a lot of discrepancies. The U.S. team lost righthander Taylor Jordan (Nationals), catcher Josh Phegley (White Sox), shortstop Brad Miller (Mariners) and corner infielder Joey Terdoslavich (Braves) to big league promotions. Third baseman Joey Gallo (Rangers) and righthander Taylor Guerrieri (Rays) were pulled from the game because of injuries.

 

In their place, Jordan has been replaced by another Nationals righthander A.J. Cole. Miller has been replaced by Chris Owings (Diamondbacks), Terdoslavich’s spot will be taken by Christian Walker (Orioles), lefthander C.J. Riefenhauser (Rays) will fill in for Guerrieri and James McCann (Tigers) will take Phegley’s spot. Probably the best replacement is the addition of third baseman Garin Cecchini (Red Sox), who will take Gallo’s spot. In most cases, the U.S. was able to add an equivalent prospect to the one who was lost, with Cecchini giving the U.S. roster a more polished and arguably better prospect than Gallo at third base. Only the replacement of Guerrieri with Riefenhauser give the U.S. club a clear prospect hit.

 

The World team has not been as fortunate. They did lose fewer players as catcher/first baseman Jorge Alfaro (Rangers) and outfielders Jorge Soler (Cubs) and Oscar Taveras (Cardinals) were all pulled for injuries, but they lost more when it comes to prospect talent. It would have been tough to come close to matching the prospect status of Taveras (ranked No. 2 in the Baseball America Midseason Top 50 Prospects list) and Soler (ranked 18th). In their place, the World added outfielders Reymond Fuentes (Padres) and Jesus Galindo (Giants). Alfaro has been replaced by infielder Ji-Man Choi (Mariners). The Friday call-up of righthander C.C. Lee (Indians) means he will not be replaced on the World roster. Since teams usually plan on doling out an inning per pitcher with an extra arm ready in case of an injury, Lee’s absence shouldn’t have much effect on the World’s pitching plans.

^I think i'm in love^

 

Yeah syndergaard's hawt.

[baseballsss]

I think the "HD Stream" link should be a little bigger in GDTs because there's always people asking even though it's in the god damn first post

 

i've never had to use the stream until yesterday so i've never bothered to look where it was and to be hobest it did take me a min to realize where it was. Only reason i knew it would be in there is from previous people asking. So yah if fatcow wants to would prob be better to make it a tad more obvious.

[theblujay]

I'm pretty sure you've got the wrong stats for Syndergaard. He and Montero have the same stats.

[Phantom95]

Link?

[IBTrini]

I'm pretty sure you've got the wrong stats for Syndergaard. He and Montero have the same stats.

I saw the same think however I couldn't find any link where those stats would appear. ​fatcowxlive, can you provide the links were you got those stats from?

[fatcowxlive]

Link?

 

........................

 

Please don't do this to me. There's a link in Green in EVERY GDT I MAKE.

 

WHAT DOES IT SAY? 'HD Stream from MLB!!!'. I WONDER WHAT IT IS?!

 

I don't mean to be rude, but if it's the 2nd thing in my post, did you just skip over EVERYTHING and just post 'Link'?

[Angrioter]

I saw the same think however I couldn't find any link where those stats would appear. ​fatcowxlive, can you provide the links were you got those stats from?

 

You don't know how to use fangraphs? Syndergaards stats are the wrong ones. He has a 1.35 ERA and 2.50 FIP in AA this year.

 

AA-ball.

Drop dead Dickey

[fatcowxlive]

Nice job on this Fatcow. I was worried that MLB.TV wouldn't carry the Future's Game, but now I see that it doesn't because it's free for all!

 

Thank ya! Uhhhh I didn't actually like this GDT because of the fact that I really didn't know what to put on there to make it complete. But it's awesome that you guys (seem) to like it

[fatcowxlive]

I forgot to put the real stats for todays starters, just updated it now

[Dr. Dinger]

How the f*** is Billy Hamilton starting over Buxton?

[IBTrini]

AA-ball.

Drop dead Dickey

Thanks...

[flafson]

Either i'm missing it or it's not up yet.

[flafson]

You guys sure about MLB.com/LIVE ?

Don't see anything there.

[flafson]

Finally a good link!!!

[flafson]

HAHA as soon as they talk how good Syndegard is, he gives up a single.

[digiblader]
