Giants Top Pitching Prospect Replaces Slugger on All-Star Futures Roster

One San Francisco Giants prospect is about to get the chance to represent both his organization and the entire National League during All-Star game festivities next month in Atlanta.

Every year, the All-Star Futures Game showcases the budding young talent across all of baseball and gives each team a chance to have at least one representative on the team.

With the release of this year's rosters on Monday, Giants fans finally got the answer as to who will be repping San Francisco down South.

24-year-old left-handed pitcher and No. 2 prospect for the Giants Carson Whisenhunt is going to be on the team in place of injured top prospect Bryce Eldridge, who suffered a hamstring strain last week and is out for at least a few weeks.

Had Eldridge been healthy, it is possible both would have made it, but the young slugger who is one of the most highly regarded prospects in all of baseball would have been a lock.
