2011 MLB Futures Game: Rosters, Start Time and TV Info
One of my favorite events of MLB's All-Star festivities is the Futures Game, and 2011 is going to be no different. The game is filled with the prospects that baseball fans hear about, and are destined to become the faces that drive the game forward.
There is not enough time in the day to actually try and watch these guys play, but for one glorious game they are all on the same field at the same time.
This is the 13th annual Futures Game, and it will be played in the U.S. vs the World format. The game will be on Sunday, July 10th at 6 p.m. (EST) and can be seen live on MLB.TV, ESPN2 and ESPN2 HD. You can also follow the action on MLB.com's Gameday or listen to a play-by-play broadcast live on XM Radio 175.
Below are the rosters for each team. The players' name are followed by their parent team and their baseball rankings courtesy of Baseball America. This wonderful list was put together by Bleacher Report's Matt Faulconer.
