The Phillies' top two prospects will be showcased before a national audience this summer. Aaron Nola, the Phillies' top pitching prospect, and J.P. Crawford, the organization's top position player, have been named to 2015 U.S. roster in the futures game. This is Nola's first appearance in the game, and Crawford's second year in a row.

Some of those names Grant mentions could be Phillies if they agree to a trade for Cole Hamels.
The Futures Game began in 1999 and takes place prior to the All-Star game. The rosters are broken down into U.S. and World (home countries of players), rather than American and National League. This year's game will take place on July 12 at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati.
