Despite having numerous pitching woes up in the majors, the Marlins have a pair of aces down in the Minors, Noble Meyer and Thomas White. Craig Mish of the Miami Herald reports that both pitching prospects will represent the Marlins in this year’s Futures Game in Arlington, Texas. The game has showcased some of the Marlins best prospects and players. Guys such as Giancarlo Stanton, Christian Yelich, and Jose Fernandez have all played in the Futures Game. All have gone to become all-star players. Hopefully, these 19-year-old pitchers will shine and showcase their skills against the league’s top prospects.
