All Star Futures Game

It was announced today that 2B Hernan Irribaren of Low-A West Virginia and OF Nelson Cruz of Double-A Huntsville were selected to play in the Futures Game during the All Star break next month. I would have liked to have seen one of the trio of pitchers from Huntsville be selected, but I'm sure roster composition played a large part in why the two aforementioned players were selected. Both players will suit up for the World Team.
