Futures Games Reps for the Sox


Cali

Recommended Posts

I haven't even really been paying attetion to who is hot and not in the minors this season, but who do you guys think the Sox reps will be this year?

 

I know the last couple of seasons they've been getting screwed. I remember in '03 it was Cotts and Ring, but before the game Ring got traded and they only had one rep, then last year, I think, Reed was the only rep and then he also got traded and they had zero players in the game. Perhaps I'm remembering '04 wrong.

I'd go with that.  However, they could grab Gio for the world team or however it works (Isn't that how they do it sometimes?).

In 03 it was Cotts and Ring so it doesn't necessarily have to be a world and a usa guy. I'd go with Anderson and Bmac too they seem like the most likely candidates, however if they do want a world guy from the sox it'd have to be Gio.

They do world vs US but Gio was born here and lives here. He wouldn't be eligible for the world team.

Well scratch that. Only other thing I could think is them holding out Bmac because he has a few MLB starts. They probably won't do it, but its a possibility.

 

Personally I'd rather see Gio and Anderson simply because I've seen Bmac pitch a lot and haven't had the luxury of watching much of Gio (I'm selfish, haha).

Interesting, I did not know that, thanks for the info. Jas, I remember Morneau was in the game either last year or in 03 when he already had been in the majors for a bit so that really shouldn't be an issue. But I'm with you I have not seen Gio pitch a real game, I've only see his scouting video and I'd love to have the opportunity to see him pitch.

Speaking of the Futures Game....Brett, Hernandez to manage in Futures Game

 

The 2005 XM Satellite Radio All-Star Futures Game will keep up that level of excellence when George Brett and Guillermo Hernandez man the United States and World dugouts, respectively, on Sunday, July 10. Rosters for both teams will be announced on an exclusive MLB.com video show from the Texas League All-Star Game on Wednesday, June 22 at 4 p.m. ET.

How could they do that, Gio is from Florida... (isn't he a US citizen or am I missing something from his bio?)

 

yeah, it is World vs US, IIRC

If I had to guess, Brandon McCarthy, Brian Anderson and Ryan Sweeney would be the top-3 options to represent the United States during the futures game considering they are our top-3 prospects...
