Kyle Farmer ready for MLB Futures Game stage

LOS ANGELES -- The 2015 MLB Futures Game is Sunday afternoon at Great American Ballpark in Cincinnati (noon PT, ESPN), and the Dodgers will have a pair of representatives in catcher Kyle Farmer on the U.S. Team and pitcher Juan Gonzalez on the World Team.

Farmer has made a name for himself both at the plate and behind it.

The Dodgers drafted Farmer in the eighth round in 2013 out of the University of Georgia, where he was a shortstop for four years. But the Dodgers wanted the athletic Farmer - he played quarterback for four years in high school in addition to baseball - at catcher.
