The rosters for the 2010 edition of the Futures Game were released today, and the Yankees will be sending two representatives to Anaheim next month: Austin Romine for the U.S. squad, Hector Noesi for the World. Jesus Montero has already appeared in the game twice, so he was ineligible this year, not that his performance warrants it. Remember, the prospects elected to this game are the best of the best. Just look at how many of last year’s participants have already appeared in the big leagues.
Part of me was hopefully that Andrew Brackman would get selected, just as validation of his improvement more than anything, but Romine is a fine choice. No more than two players per club go, though ten teams were given just one representative. The game will be played on Sunday, July 11th, the day before the Homerun Derby and two days before the All Star Game.
