Down On The Farm: 2010 MLB Futures Game

by Ray Guilfoyle on Jul 10, 2010 4:31 PM EDT in Baseball

Those of you looking to see some of the top prospects in the game should check out the annual Futures game which pits the top prospects from the US vs the top prospects in the World. lead by Phillies outfielder Domonic Brown and Rays pitcher Jeremy Hellickson. The game will be televised on ESPN 2 tomorrow night at 6pm.

ESPN's Keith Law breaks down the top 30 prospects in the Futures game here, and here is what he said about Cardinals pitching prospect Shelby Miller:

Shelby Miller, RHP, St. Louis: He was 92-96 in high school and has recently hit 98, all with a plus curve and an improving changeup, and his command this year has been a pleasant surprise. He's emerging as perhaps the highest-ceiling starter in the minors.

I will not be able to watch the game, but I will tape it and watch tomorrow night.
