Yankees head case Jorge Mateo will not be at the futures game due to suspension. He will be replaced by Mets prospect Amed Rosario who is actually (and ironically) a better prospect than Mateo IMO. The Mets have a couple of interesting guys including D.Smith, who has started to hit for power this year.

I'm not sure what to think of C.Fulmer. I liked him coming out. He is averaging more than a K per inning in Double A but he is walking too many batters (51 walks in 87 innings) but maybe he will get that fixed.

It should be an exciting night for Red Sox fans. I will cry a little when I watch Margot, not because I want him back on the Red Sox; rather, I want him back as a trade chip for a starting pitcher.

Bregman and Altuve in the same infield will be interesting

It was clearly sarcasm, he linked a dumb post the equated the two players based on a few statistics.

No one goes to third at the point he did. Ball was nearly in Benintendi's glove when he broke for third. He had that easy too.

I didn't realize Swanson was putting up such pedestrian numbers at Double A (though, sample size is relatively small). Maybe the Diamondbacks sold high on Swanson. To be sure, Bregman has surpassed Swanson as a prospect.

Carlos Asuaje, LOL. I forgot about him.
