Billed as the “stars of tomorrow,” Baseball Factory alumni Delmon Young, B.J. Upton and Lastings Milledge, suited up for the United States team in the XM Satellite Futures Game at Comerica Park in Detroit yesterday.

Though the World team stymied the U.S. offense in their 4-0 win, allowing a mere four hits over the game’s six and one-half innings, Young went 1-for-2, managing a single off Texas class-AA right-hander Edison Volquez in the second. Young also worked a walk.

Heading into the game, Young (drafted 2003, Tampa Bay Devil Rays, first round, first overall) was .336 hitting with a .386 OBP, .582 slugging percentage, 59 R, 20 HR, 71 RBI and 25 stolen bases as an outfielder with class-AA Montgomery.

Upton (drafted 2002, Tampa Bay, first round, second overall) was hitting .292 with a .377 on-base percentage, 53 runs scored, nine home runs, 43 runs batted in and 27 stolen bases as a shortstop with class-AAA Durham.

Milledge (drafted 2003, New York Mets, first round, twelfth overall) was hitting .302 with a .385 OBP, .418 SLG, 48 R, 4 HR, 22 RBI and 18 SB as an outfielder at class-high A St. Lucie.

At last year’s Futures Game at Minute Maid Park in Houston, Factory alumnus and Toronto Blue Jays rookie Aaron Hill led the U.S. squad to a 4-3 victory, driving in two runs and earning game MVP honors. In 45 games with Toronto this year, splitting time mainly between third base and designated hitter, Hill is hitting .337 with a .393 OBP, .476 SLG, 25 R, 27 RBI and one home run.

Comerica Park, home of the Detroit Tigers, is the site for Tuesday’s 76^th annual All-Star Game.
