The Arizona Fall League's annual Rising Stars game will be held tonight at 8pm EST and the MLB Network will be covering the game. This game is not an All Star game, but a game that showcases the top prospects that are participating in the AFL including Mike Trout, Bryce Harper, Gerrit Cole, Danny Huitzen, among many others.

Harper has been on a hot streak of late, as he is on a 13 game hitting streak and is hitting .314-.388-.643 with 6 HRs, 24 RBI, 12 runs scored, 3 stolen bases, and a 12-9 K/BB rate in 70 at bats.

The Rising Star rosters are after the jump:

I`m interested in seeing Nolan Arenado, alot have scouts have been saying they think he can stay at 3B which is a plus.

Alex Bunbury = good. Teal Bunbury = a colour

true

heard an interview with Sickels on SM this afternoon, and he was saying, as he does in his post this afternoon, that the pitching has been very bad this year in the AFL.
Arenado has definitely raised his stock this year.
