Ok, here's a few more for the MLB catagory:
Jeff Huson needs to be moved from the PGA catagory to the MLB catagory
Greg Brock - Brewers/Dodgers
Paul Fitzke (going way back) - Indians
Pat House - Milwaukee Braves
Bob Linton (going way back) - Pirates
 
If you're counting just signed and who may have been cut or may get cut....Corey Bramlet, New England Patriots....believe he was in NFL Europe as well
 
Also Brandon Ewing is playing in the NBA d league....Iowa energy and played in Europe for a couple of years
 
couple more names that signed free agent contracts for NFL teams
Mike Juergens LB signed with Carolina 2009
I dont know how I forgot the #3 all time rusher at UW Wynel Seldon signed with the redskins in 2009 now he is in the UFL or something
 
I haven't decided if I'm going to include spring ball invites/cut in preseason or not.. I think I'm looking at guys with significant professional PT.
