MLB Futures Game 2014: Pro-Player Comparisons for Each Prospect

Many of baseball's top prospects will be on display in this year's MLB Futures Game at Minnesota's Target Field, which will be played Sunday at 5 p.m. ET. Until then, however, we'll continue to break down all the players from the U.S. and World teams' rosters.


By now, most of you hopefully know that I typically try to stay away from comparing prospects to major leaguers; it can be a misleading exercise, as any number of things can happen to affect a player's developmental timeline and overall projection.


However, considering we'll be viewing the future of the sport just a few days before the actual All-Star Game, I thought I'd take a (conservative) stab at comparing this year's Futures Game participants to well-known big leaguers, both past and present.


With that said, here are the pro-player comparisons for each prospect in this year's Futures Game.
