Rog needs to start trying to bunt for hits.
fun fact: Mark Hendrickson was a Power Forward in the NBA before becoming a Pro Baseball Player.
really? Any idea what team?
NBA careerHendrickson elected to play basketball and joined the 76ers, playing part time in 29 games in the 1996-97 NBA season, averaging 2.9 points and 3.2 rebounds in 10.4 minutes per game. He signed as a free agent with the Sacramento Kings on December 23 1997, appearing in 48 games, averaging 15.4 minutes, 3.4 points and 3.0 rebounds as a reserve player.Unsigned by the NBA prior to the 1998 season, he signed with the CBA La Crosse Bobcats where he played most of the season. He was picked up by the New Jersey Nets for a couple of brief stints during the 1998-99 and 1999-2000 seasons and by the Cleveland Cavaliers for the remainder of the 2000 season. Frustrated by his inability to get more consistent work he decided to give up on basketball and concentrate on baseball.His final NBA career numbers were 114 games played, 8 starts, 1,508 minutes played, 316 rebounds, 15 blocks and 381 points scored.
Detwiler was our #2 prospect going into the year. I can't believe how bad he is struggling in High-A ball. He was a first-round college draftee for heck's sake.
Score him some freaking runs!
YNOT!
Not very often you hear basketball guys playing baseball too, usually its the football heads.
Kenny Lofton. Danny Ainge. Michael Jordan
