Name That Future Major Leaguer

Monday, December 12 2011 @ 11:59 PM EST

See how many future major leaguers you can spot in these photos from my minor league archives.  These are not the greatest quality of photos but the winner who figures out who is who will get a highly coveted, limited edition photo of Pedro Florimon Jr.  Runner-up prizes are a photo of Eric Fryer and one of my cats because it's Christmas! 

The New Hampshire Fisher Cats celebrate a victory in Binghamton over the Mets affiliate.  Spot the future big leaguer in the crowd.

He was in the bigs before but returned for good not too long after a stint with the Syracuse Chiefs.  Bonus Batter's Box points if you can identify the umpire in the background.

The Jacksonville Suns sporting bright gold uniforms for Jimmy Buffett Night.  There are three future big leaguers here among these "sharp-dressed" men and proof will be provided.

This Dunedin Blue Jay has had a brief cup of coffee in the bigs and his brother was a fairly recent first round pick.

The tattoos should give this one away.

This should be a slam dunk.

This piss-poor shot is actually from a summer collegiate game in the Northwoods League in 2007 in the state of Wisconsin but there is a future big leaguer here and I will provide proof when I reveal the answers.
