Jeurys Familia

[Farmer Ted]

Jeurys at Single A St. Lucie was the Mets rep at the Futures game. Didn't see the game but reports say he threw really hard but got knocked around.

Who selects the players from each team? I would have thought someone with a bit more seasoning in the minors would have been selected.

I believe each org nominates several of its players and someone(s) from MLB winnows that list down to a 25 & 25 (American/Int'l) number.
Part of the goal is not only to have each org represented but each one of the (full seasons) minor leagues as well - each of the levels and each regional league within those levels.
And finally, the ones picked are not just supposed to be AS material in that they're having a good season but also be a true "prospect", one that's deemed to have a good shot at a ML career.

IOW, there's going to be a mix of ages and guys with little or lots of minor league time under their belts.
