2004 MLB Draft
(SBS = Signed Before Season)

Ryan Garko (00) Indians' Minor League Player of the Year

Brooks Conrad (99-00 MVP) Named to Texas League All-Star Team - "Despite being hobbled with an injured ankle for the past month, Conrad has been one of the most consistent players for the Express. He’s hitting .291 and has driven in 31 runs, good for third on the team."

Marc Kaiser (02) Kaiser takes it one hitter at a time "I sometimes think that I may have ruined a good thing at Arizona," said Kaiser, who pitched the Warriors to a 2003 NAIA National Championship and was named tournament most valuable player. "But when I stop and think about how much I needed (Lewis & Clark) coach Ed Cheff at that time in my life, I realize that things happen for a reason."

Todd Leathers (01 MVP) Ducks pitcher hangs in there for shot at majors "It was the best summer I ever had," Leathers said of playing for the Alaska Goldpanners, which is based in Fairbanks. "I'm an outdoors person ... we'd have a game end at 11 p.m. and still have four hours of daylight to fish."

2004 MLB Debut

Greg Dobbs (00)

9/8/4: Greg Dobbs (00) Moments to Remember "During the slow trot around the bases to think about the home run in his first major league plate appearance, Greg Dobbs didn't get nostalgic. "I was thinking, 'Don't trip,' just get to home plate"

David Bush (99) absorbed the loss in his major league debut (7/2/4) despite 5 2/3 strong innings for the Blue Jays, who have lost two of their last three.
