Baseball Betting Lines

06/25/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Don Baylor and Cookie Rojas have been named managers for the Futures Game, which will be a part of the All-Star Game festivities in Anaheim.

The contest will take place on Sunday, July 11 at Angel Stadium, where Baylor will manage the U.S. squad and Rojas will be at the helm of the World team.

Baylor spent six years as a player in Anaheim and was named the 1979 American League Most Valuable Player with the Angels. He played for 19 years in the big leagues and is one of only 18 players to collect at least 250 home runs and steal at least 250 bases.

He was the first manager in Colorado history and guided the Rockies to the National League playoffs as a wild card in 1995 in their third year of existence. During his six seasons as the skipper in Denver, he posted a record of 440-469.

Baylor returned to the dugout in 2000 to begin a two and a half-year run as the Cubs manager during which he led them to a 187-220 mark before being relieved of his duties after 83 games in the 2002 season.

Rojas played in the major leagues for 16 seasons and is currently a Spanish language broadcaster for the Florida Marlins.

He worked in the front office and served as a scout for the Angels before getting the chance to manage the team in 1988, when he posted a 75-79 record before being replaced for the final eight games of the season. He also stepped in as an interim manager for the Florida Marlins during the 1996 campaign, winning once and losing once.

The World team has won the last three games and leads the all-time series, 6-5.

Both managers will be joined by a six-man coaching staff comprised of Minor League coaches and managers.
