The rosters for the 2007 Futures Game, played during All-Star weekend, have been announced and fans of every Major League team will have a chance to see the best their organization has to offer.

The youngest player chosen is World team member and pitcher Deolis Guerra, a Mets farmhand who just turned 18 in April. The oldest is Freddy Sandoval, a third baseman in the Angels farm system who turns 25 August. He is also a member of the World team.

The U.S. team is stacked with players from recent drafts, and fans should be familiar with many of them.

2005 looks like it will become a fruitful draft, as all five of the U.S. team's outfielders were first round picks that year. The outfield is made up of prospects Colby Rasmus (Cardinals), Jay Bruce (Reds), Jacob Ellsbury (Red Sox), Cameron Maybin (Tigers), and 2005 first overall pick Justin Upton (Diamondbacks).

Other notable U.S. players are third baseman Evan Longoria (Devil Rays) and pitchers Clayton Kershaw (Dodgers), Matt Garza (Twins), Clay Buchholz (Red Sox), and last year's first overall pick Luke Hochevar (Royals).

Though each player chosen has put up good numbers, some are having remarkable years. On the U.S. team, pitcher Buchholz has a 1.82 ERA to go with a .188 opponents batting average and 100 K's against only 18 walks, while Kershaw has a 1.89 ERA and is holding opponents to a .178 batting average.

The World team has pitchers putting up impressive statistics also, as White Sox farmhand Faustino De Los Santos has a 2.54 ERA, 74 K's in 63.2 innings while only allowing 35 hits in that span. Henry Sosa of the Giants has eye-popping numbers, starting the season with a 0.73 ERA (5 earned runs in 62 innings), .144 opponents batting average and 61 K's.

Hitters have put up some fantastic numbers also. Second baseman Chris Coghlan, a Marlins prospect, is hitting .327 with a .426 OBP. Meanwhile, Longoria has 16 homeruns, Upton is hitting a combined .326 with 13 homeruns and 16 stolen bases, and Rasmus has 11 homeruns to go with 12 stolen bases.

On the World side, Texas prospect and second baseman German Duran is hitting .327 with 14 homeruns and a .949 OPS, while a prospect from Seattle, outfielder Wladimir Balentien, has a .316 average with 14 homeruns. To go along with those two, Dodgers farmhand and outfielder Chin-Lung Hu is hitting .326 with 25 doubles.

The Futures game is always something to look forward to, whether your team is in first or last place. It allows us to take a glimpse into the future, and gives us hope that maybe, just maybe, one of these players will lead our team to the promised land one day.
