During the 2009 season only Centeno, Valdespin and Colin McHugh have seen the Major Leagues. Carlos Beltran, Angel Berroa, Oliver Perez and Andy Green played for the Cyclones at some point during the season. But, were on rehab assignments.
51 players played for the Cyclones in 2009. Other than the players who have made it the Majors. In my opinion only 1 additional player could play in the Majors in the near future. Darin Gorski..
