I’m watching the Futures Game while listening to the end of the Tiger game and they listed the reserves for the World Team.  Tigers prospect Gorkys Hernandez was listed as a Ranger.  Is there a trade that went down that we don’t know about or did ESPN blow this one?  There’s been plenty of trade rumors floating around that involve the Rangers’ relievers so I kind of interested when that came up.  And then Maybin isn’t in there because of his injured shoulder.

***UPDATE***

Since I mentioned Maybin, here’s a nice story on him by Jason Beck. 

***UPDATE***

Alright, Gorkys Hernandez is still a Tiger farm hand as he was addressed as much in his second at bat.  One of my gripes with the Futures Game is all of the interviews they do while the game is going on.  Gorkys Hernandez led off the fifth inning and grounded out to first on his first pitch.  Since they were talking to White Sox GM Kenny Williams, he didn’t even get mentioned.  He did draw a walk and score a run in the seventh though.  He had a nice at bat against Clayton Kershaw.  He fouled a few off and eventually worked him for a walk.
