Big pickup for Rockford
The Rockford Riverhawks made a move Thursday they hope will help secure a wild-card berth and Frontier League championship.
The Riverhawks signed Mark Rogers, a pitcher who was the Oakland A's second-round draft pick in 2004. Rogers had an 11-win season at the high-Class A level and pitched in 17 games (eight starts) at Class AA.
Rogers had control problems last year and was released this spring.
Though the FL transaction deadline has passed, Rockford was able to pick up Rogers (classified as a veteran by FL roster standards) because it had only 23 players, and no veterans, on its active roster.
