Loggers in the pros

.
July 6 -- Here's a long-overdue statistical update on former Loggers players in professional baseball. The 2008 draft was one of the team's most successful in terms of former and current players being selected. A total of 13 were taken, plus three who had been signed but never showed up.

Notable:

  • Max Scherzer, the first former Logger to make the big leagues, hasn't pitched since June 15 because of shoulder inflammation. He's back in Class AAA.

  • Brad Holt, one of the Loggers' top pitchers, from 2007, is off to a good start in Class A Short Season for the Mets, who took him in the first round (33rd) last month.

  • Sweet-swinging Sawyer Carroll, a third-round pick of the Padres this year, is batting .301 with three homers in 18 games for Class A Eugene.

    " Hello NSS,
    Scherzer and Herrera were both called up this year and are back down in AAA; Scherzer should be up once his shoulder is healed.
