Does anyone have any experience with or know anything about the Mariners Cup held in Seattle at Safeco Field?

They came through the Portland area a few weeks ago and held a tryout for the '08's and '09's which my son attended. I think this is the second year they have done the Mariner Cup team.
I don't know a lot about the whole thing but looking at the roster from last year it was obvious that it's a pretty elite deal. Getting named to the team is a big honor.

Bum Jr. was invited just today! I am PUMPED. Can't wait!
Hey Bum that is awesome! Congrats to Bum Jr!!!
Bum, what team will your son be playing with? Mine will be with the White Sox team.
Rob, thanks! I was told he would get a Seattle Mariners jersey so I guess that's the team. They said two of the three games would be at Safeco field so I'm keeping my fingers crossed he'll pitch there.
Have they published the list for this year? I'd love to see who made it. They gave my son a pretty good feeling about next year when he tried out.
I am not aware of such a list. Maybe Baseball Northwest will post it soon (I hope). I know there are 4 kids from Spokane who will be on the Northwest team. My son Rusty Shellhorn, Andrew Kittredge, Bryan Peterson, and Beau Brett. My son is a LHP, only 5'10" but his velocity has really jumped in the past year (88 Jugs). The Kittredge kid is a RHP who tops at 92 Jugs.
