LOL - Dahl is gone but Danny is still a bright light!  Who was the "next Arod"?  We had him before he became great.  We have had some great MiLB players.  @DrungoHazewood

Jose Bautista and Josh Turner.

Eddie Rogers?  He was one of many pre-2001 players with fake documentation, so when he reached the Baysox in 2000 everyone thought he was 18.  If you can hit reasonably well in AA at 18 you're on the fast track to stardom.  Unfortunately when 9/11 happened and they cracked down on that stuff it was revealed he was actually three years older, and his '01 season split between Frederick and Bowie wasn't so hot.

Rogers’ most notable big league accomplishment was having a baseball somehow roll inside his shirt while he was attempting to field it.
