Reunited and it feels so good

Bobby Wilson, one of the stars on Seminole's great 2001 national champions and the Times Player of the Year that season, was called up to the Anaheim Angels and is now a major league teammate of former Warhawk teammate Casey Kotchman.

Two guys from the same high school team as major league teammates. Pretty darned phenomenal.

Wilson was hitting .339 with six doubles and 12 RBI in 16 games at Triple A Salt Lake City.

Tom Kotchman, Casey's dad and an Angels scout, told me the Halos have been hit by the flu recently, especially catcher Jeff Mathis, creating an opening for Wilson. Kotchman, who signed Wilson, also pointed out that including Ricky Nolan, who was a freshman in 2001, that Seminole team ended up producing 10 players who signed pro contracts.

Chances are, that's a national record, and one that will be tough to break.

Seminole grad (but not a member of that 2001 team) Greg Jones is still kicking around in Triple A these days with the Las Vegas 51s (LA Dodgers system). He's 2-1 with a 5.73 ERA so far.
