As we near the Midsummer Classic known as the MLB All-Star game, it is a good time to take a moment for reflection. It is so easy to get lost in the excitement of the future that we often forget the past. Just think back to where we were at this same point a year ago. Around this time last season, we had already seen a tremendous migration of prospects including, but not limited to,?Kris Bryant, Francisco Lindor, Carlos Correa and Noah Syndergaard. We were not even close to being done, either.Even with those names and more promoted, last years list during this week still featured plenty of talent. Six of the top 10 (Corey Seager, Aaron Nola, Miguel Sano, Tim Anderson, Kyle Schwarber and Joe Ross) are on a major league roster (including two on the disabled list). There are two more (see below) that land on this weeks top as well. And then there is a final pair (Luis Severino and Richie Shaffer) that made their major league debuts last season and are searching to regain what got them there.The June 29, 2015 list was headlined by Corey Seager. The favorite for National League Rookie of the Year is not just holding his own these days; he is arguably the best shortstop in the NL and deserves to start the All-Star game although that does not look likely with the fan voting.Seager began play on Monday hitting .303/.362/.536 with 17 home runs and 20 doubles. Despite being only 22-years-old, he handles the zone like a veteran and spends most of his time at the top of the Dodgers lineup. Defensively he has been a standout at the six spot. He has been everything as advertised and perhaps even a bit more.Coming in just behind Seager in 2015 was Aaron Nola. Now, arguably the unofficial ace of the Phillies staff, Nola has also been as projected despite some dirt on his (4.69) ERA.Leading with a low-90s fastball and a dominating Jimmy Carter-era curveball that lives in the late-70s, the right-hander has punched out more batters (106) than innings pitched (96). He has done so while limiting his walks -- Nola has issued just 20 unintentional walks this year. His 2.97 FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching) is nearly two runs below his ERA. His average on batted balls is higher than normal at .331 and he is prone to the big fly. Still, if Im taking a bet on someone to pitch well into the next decade, Nola is definitely in the conversation.Who will we be talking about this time next year? Sione Takitaki Womens Jersey . On Saturday night, the normally free throw-challenged centre did just that. Howard scored 18 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, including 13 of 19 free throws in a 2 1/2-minute stretch, and the Houston Rockets beat the Denver Nuggets 122-111. Jim Brown Jersey .

The 20-year-old Pelicans big man glanced up and smiled widely at the well-wishers -- a fitting end to a day he wont soon forget. Davis responded to his selection earlier in the day as a Western Conference All-Star with 26 points and 10 rebounds, and the New Orleans Pelicans overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to defeat the Minnesota Timberwolves 98-91 on Friday night. Sheldrick Redwine Browns Jersey . -- Five former Kansas City Chiefs players who were on the team between 1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the team hid and even lied about the risks of head injuries during that time period when there was no collective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL.

"Martyn is a highly-respected coach with experience at the top levels in England," said Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson. INDIANAPOLIS -- Indianapolis Colts tight end Dwayne Allen has dropped to his knee at the end of the national anthem since his rookie season in 2012. So when he offered his customary pregame prayer Sunday night, he never imagined the furor it would cause.The action that was misinterpreted as part of a protest movement started by 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick created such a firestorm on social media that Allen and the Indianapolis Colts released a video Tuesday explaining what had happened.In the video, some of the hateful comments Allen received on social media were superimposed on the screen as Allen explained that he loves America and only wants this world to be a better place before vowing to continue praying on the sideline.On Wednesday, Allen hobbled into the locker room on crutches and then went even further by explaining he doesnt know Kaepernick or some of the other players who have been protesting police treatment of minorities. He criticized those who use vitriol, hyperbole and racial comments cloaked in the name of patriotism.I was not prrotesting, I was praying, Allen said.dddddddddddd. Whether I was protesting or not, it doesnt give the right for others to use those words of hate. If you want to show patriotism, show patriotism, have pride about this great nation, show your love and devotion about this great nation. Dont use words of hate to try to show harm to someone else.But Allen, who has been active in helping victims of domestic violence and won the Colts man of the year award last season, also defended their right to speak out and acknowledged he would like to help them spread the message about inequality in America.Ive wanted to shed the light on that issue and hopefully we as a great nation we can come to a place where we all say enough and we gather together and we say we do have the ability to show what true patriotism is and thats what were going to do instead of sharing hate, Allen said.---Online: AP NFL site: http://pro32.ap.org and (at)AP-NFL ' ' '
