No more than two players could be selected from one organization. Bumgarner and Villalona were the Giants selections.

Not only that, but it is a juggling act to try to get the top talent in for each team. I always get a kick out of the outrage from people who don't understand the process. Isn't of calling it a joke, why not look into why a player wasn't picked?

Selections I like:

-Juan Carlos Sulbaran (underrated pitching prospect)
-Jhoulys Chacin (he was obviously going to make it, but still...he gets so little press)
-Pedro Baez (I think he will have a big breakout in the 2nd part of this year...AA bound by the end of the year?)
-Jemile Weeks (has only been playing a couple weeks, but damn, he is talented)
-Neftali Feliz (wasn't sure he would make it with the pedestrian stats he has put up...glad he did)
-Danny Espinosa (the lone Nationals prospect....AWESOME)

These are two guys that have really impressed me this year when I saw them.

Does Weeks resemble is brother at all in terms of swing?

He didn't remind me of him in any way, but I haven't seen either of them enough to say for certain. I'll have to go back and look at my photos to see if I can find any similarities.

Looking forward to watching this game. Especially the possible Bumgarner vs. Villalona battle.

Pretty sure Razor guys won't have Chromes even in Futures Game.
I was wondering about that, we can only hope that somehow Topps can get them in.

Not all of us feel that way.

Trevor Reckling baby! Woo hoo! Go T-Reck!

I'm very surprised with the selection of Wilmer Flores....he's not having a great year and with him, it's all about potential...

Anyone heard of Manny Banuelos before? 18 years old and doing well in class A for the Yanks
They has a nice write up on him in the local paper here in Charleston. They said he has more upside than some of the other more known Yankee prospects. He's young and small 5'10" 155# but he can sling it. I was hoping he would fly under the radar but I see that wont happen now.

On a side note, Justin Smoak should have been on this roster.

Disappointed that my two favorite Minor Leaguers Moustakas and Smoak weren't selected but them are the breaks
