Futures Game rosters are just around the corner so I thought we'd take a look at which Taiwanese player is most likely to make the team. The Futures Game is the first chance many of us get to see top prospects play on television. The current format is United States vs. World and since MLB is interested in showcasing its diversity it is almost guaranteed that at least one Taiwanese player will make the roster. The last four Taiwanese to make the roster were Yung-Chi Chen, Chin-Lung Hu, Che-Hsuan Lin, and Chia-Jen Lo. The current top 3 candidates are in order of likelihood:
Player of the week: Che-Hsuan Lin. Lin hit .320 this week bringing his season total up to .261. He's still displaying a very good eye, but he needs to find some power. Without it he will be merely a average to good prospect instead of an elite one.
Player of the week: Ching-Lung Lo. Lo struck out 5 in 6.2 innings of relief work. He has a solid 2.91 ERA so far this season. His strikeout total had been low, however, his strong showing this week in that department is a welcome sight.
