Local Kansas City sports talk stations are having debates about how loudly Royals fans should boo American League home run derby captain Robinson Cano during the derby and the All-Star Game for leaving Kansas City designated hitter Billy Butler off the A.L. squad. There will be no such controversies today at the Futures Game, ( 2 p.m. on ESPN2). U.S. manager George Brett has already stated that Royals outfield prospect Wil Myers will play the entire game in front of the fans of his future team. Royals pitching prospects Jake Odorizzi (U.S. team) and Yordano Ventura (World team) will be the starting pitchers. – Baseball America
