In the last transaction summary, I mentioned a few former Valley Leaguers in pro ball who were either released or became free agents. Well, it turns out that a whopping nine more players elected free agency in the meantime- the most ATVL has seen in the last number of years.

Here they are:

Last First Pos Team Year Rd Draft
Flores Rudy 1B Haymarket 2010 21 2012
Lewis Sam RHP Woodstock 2011 FA 2012
Snyder Michael 1B Haymarket 2011 23 2012
Cardullo Stephen OF Covington 2007 24 2010
Johnson Sherman 2B Covington 2009-10 14 2012
Campbell Eric 3B Luray 2006 8 2008
Cowgill Collin OF Covington 2005 5 2008
Rickles Nick C Luray 2010 14 2011
Hill Taylor P Winchester 2008 6 2011

Five of these players have played in the major leagues: Cardullo, Johnson, Campbell, Cowgill, and Hill.

Hopefully all nine players are able to find a team to sign them this offseason! Stay posted; ATVL will update any changes.
