Story #42, 43 -- The Futures begins now...

I'm about three days from packing up my laptop and duffel for another road trip, this time to San Francisco for the 2007 Futures Game-- the 'IT' All-Star event of the Minor League season. We're talking AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants, and a whole lot more...well, professional environment to boot (TV coverage on ESPN, my bosses at MiLB.com are flying out etc.).

So let's get this party started. Below are 2-of-4 stories I've written previewing position players on the U.S. team for the Futures Game. Today the outfield, tomorrow the pitching staff (that's a hint to check back tomorrow for my pitching previews too)!

Click here for a quick look at the five players in the U.S. outfield.
