Scottsdale, Arizona  The Arizona Fall League’s

10th annual Fall Stars Game Presented by Bowman

Baseball Cards will be played at 6:08 p.m. AZ

(8:08 p.m. ET) this Saturday, November 7 at Salt

River Fields at Talking Stick.

 

Scouting and farm directors from every Major League

organization, in consultation with Arizona Fall League

Director Steve Cobb and his baseball personnel staff,

selected the players for the annual showcase that pits

top prospects from the Fall League’s East Division

and West Division clubs.

 

Each major-league organization is offered the

opportunity to be represented by at least one player.

 

The East Division roster fields players from the

Mesa Solar Sox (Angels, Athletics, Cubs, Marlins,

Rays), defending champion Salt River Rafters

(Blue Jays, D-backs, Mets, Nationals, Rockies) and

Scottsdale Scorpions (Giants, Indians, Red Sox,

Tigers, Twins).

 

The West Division roster is stocked by the Glendale

Desert Dogs (Astros, Dodgers, Phillies, Pirates,

White Sox), Peoria Javelinas (Braves, Mariners,

Orioles, Padres, Reds), and Surprise Saguaros

(Brewers, Cardinals, Rangers, Royals, Yankees).

 

Managers Tripp Keister (Nationals) of the East

Division co-leading Salt River Rafters and Bill

Haselman (Dodgers) of the West

Division-pacesetting Glendale Desert Dogs and

their respective coaching staffs earned the right to

manage Saturday’s Fall Stars Game by having

their clubs in first place through the end of play

last Saturday.

 

Rosters — Seven of this year’s Fall Stars are

ranked on MLB.com’s current Top 100 Prospects

in the 2015 Futures Game during the All-Star
