Farmer Ted Old-Timey Member Posted July 12, 2010 Posted July 12, 2010 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.
