This season, Werner went 11-6, 3.47 in 20 starts to rank second in the FL in wins. He struck out 106 and walked 52 in 127 innings. John Manuel adds that Scurry is the son of ex-big leaguer Rod Scurry, who was a first-round pick back in ’74.

Righty Erik Hamren, the Cubs' 37th-round pick in ’08, finished the year with Joliet of the Northern League, racking up 53 strikeouts in 63 innings and going 0-2, 3.29 in a relief role.

Chris Rollins pitched in independent Central League in ’09. What's he been up to since? [Update from reader Dave: Rollins started the year with Pittsfield of the Can-Am League, was released, and signed with Evansville of the Frontier League. The Otters released him on October 14th.]
