From its (current) inception to the present (9.July.09), 40 players have "made it to the 'show'" after playing in the Northern League. Several such as Jeff Zimmerman, J.D. Drew, Rey Ordoñez, and Kevin Millar have had much more than just "a cup of coffee." The latest to be called is Travis Schlichting, right handed pitcher and formerly of the Kansas City T-Bones.
