Elias Diaz, Josh Bell to represent Pittsburgh Pirates in SiriusXM Futures Game

The 2015 SiriusXM Futures Game will take place Sunday, July 12th at 3 PM on the MLB Network. This game is always a great chance to see some of the top up and coming players in the minor leagues. The Pittsburgh Pirates find themselves with one representative on both the U.S. and World teams and also had one of their managers selected to the coaching staff of the U.S. Team.

2011 second round draft pick Josh Bell will be making his second consecutive appearance on the roster for the U.S. team. After starting his professional career in right field, Bell began working out at first base in the fall last year at first during his time in the Arizona Fall League.
