Alen Hanson has been hitting really well as of late.. average is only at .279, but isn't terrible for the Eastern League. The 10 home runs this year is surprising.

It'll be interesting to see how much he moves in the top 100 come Feb.

Corey Seager is being promoted to AA Chattanooga.

I'm at the ASG weekend, so if I cab get away, I'm going to try and check out the Futures Game.

Blake Swihart HR (10)

Billy McKinney HR (11) - 1st w/Cubs org

Andrew Velazquez has reached base in 72 straight games, a new Milb record.

Jorge Soler HR (5)

Jr. HR Derby Winner and we might want to check his birth certificate, kid is huge.

Believe the hype.

Gallo just put on a real show in Minny.


Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst
Joey Gallo's third swing of BP sent a baseball soaring over an upper deck exit ramp in RF. #wow

Josh Norris ‏@jnorris427
Holy cow Joey Gallo hit a car

Ben Badler ‏@BenBadler
Gallo's home run broke a windshield. What idiot parks that close to the park when Joey Gallo is in town?

Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst
Highlight of Gallo's 2nd round of BP: HR that clerked the RF seats and hit the parking garage #crazy

John Manuel ‏@johnmanuelba
Good grief Joey Gallo. One ou of the park in BP, 3 to upper reaches of RF upper deck. Almost to dugout when it landed. 80 power on display

Ben Badler ‏@BenBadler
Gallo hits four out in his last round. Final shot leaves the stadium over the RF foul pole. First ovation from the crowd.

Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst
Gallo just finished off 3rd round with HR that went 25 ft over foul pole & landed in plaza.

Jeff Passan ‏@JeffPassan
Joey Gallo just hit a batting-practice pitch about 500 feet. He's my No. 1 player to watch in today's Futures Game

Jayson Stark ‏@jaysonst
Overheard after Gallo foul-pole rocket: "Did that ball hit the Target Center?"

John Manuel ‏@johnmanuelba
Joey Gallo gets ovation from fans for show he just put on. Well deserved

Ben Badler ‏@BenBadler
There are 14 rows in the upper deck in RF. Joey Gallo just hit one into the 12th row.

JJ Cooper ‏@jjcoop36
Joey Gallo just put on a bp that defied words. If Kris Bryant tops that it will be something.

Jim Callis ‏@jimcallisMLB
Joey Gallo just put on the best BP show I've ever seen at a @FuturesGame. Or, really, anywhere. @Rangers

Josh Norris ‏@jnorris427
That was the most awesome display of power I've ever seen. #Gallo

keithlaw ‏@keithlaw
Joey Gallo with a moderately impressive BP session #holycrap

Edwin Escobar needs to get Seager or this innings is going to become a sister

Damn swipe texting, sister = disaster

2-run jack by Baez, off Giolito.

And he knew it was gone immediately.

GAAALLLOOOOOOO!!!!!!

It's time we made that name a verb.

Joey just Gallo'd that ball to the moon, Alice.

Well earned MVP for Gallo.

Unrelated, but why does the game start late this year.I went 2 years ago, game was a live 1:00 start on ESPN.Don't see why time was changed again.Just pick one start time and go with it every year.Years ago in Arizona, game was another 4:00 start on ESPN, and wasn't even live.Enough of the goofy start times.Was celebrity game earlier then?

Click to expand...

Duds has been ON FIRE since his return from the DL.....

Buxton 1-2, BB

Schwarber 3-6, BB

Frazier staying hot 3-5

Urias, Julio (ASFG): 1 IN 0 H 0 R 0 BB 1 K (14 pitches, 11 strikes)-- 17-year old makes it look far too easy.

Anyone have a link to the archived game?
