Didn't see it posted anywhere.

 

Eric Patterson and Jae Kuk Ryu represent the Cubs.

Thanks for the link. I assume Carlos Marmol would have been on the team instead of Ryu had he not been promoted. First time Felix Pie hasn't made the roster in 3 years (last year he didn't play but he did make the initial roster).

 

Looks like Fergie Jenkins will be coaching the World team!

Yay for E-Patt!!!

And former Cub Dave Clark (primarily a pinch hitter) is one of the World Team coaches.

 

I like the Futures Game better than the AAA All-Star game because the Futures Game just includes prospects, while the AAA All-Star Game can include players who are having good seasons in the minors but are basically AAAA players with no real major league future.

I would like to see JK Ryu pitch to Eric in the game. That would be sweet.

Just as long as he doesn't treat him like he treated this guy:

I had the opportunity to congratulate Eric this afternoon and ask him a few questions about being selected. We'll get his Q & A posted ASAP!

Isn't that Montgomery Burns?

Eric Patterson joins his brother Corey as Futures Gamers, and he's showing a different setup than he had in college at Georgia Tech. The Cubs second baseman has ditched the exaggerated leg kick that scouts criticized in college, feeling it caused the younger Patterson to try to hit for power too much and pop the ball up. Patterson is hitting .279/.338/.418 at Double-A West Tenn this season.

How did Eric and Jae do at the Futures Game?

How did Eric and Jae do at the Futures Game?

 

Patterson went 0-1 and Ryu didn't pitch because of a sprained ankle.
