Twins get snubbed in the All-Star Futures game

The rosters for the All-Star Futures game (that takes place at Target Field) were announced and the Twins have only 2 players Kennys Vargas, the Twins' number 5 prospect, and Jose Berrios, the Twins' number 8 prospect, participating in the World Squad. 

No Twins are in the US Team.  Hard to believer that the selecting pitching prospects are more deserving than Alex Meyer and Trevor May, Twins' number 3 and 4 prospects. 

A bit hard to stomach.
