Forgotten Faces - Mike Zagurski

Now, I know that you're thinking, "How could anyone ever forget that massive reliever?" Seriously, though, I did. Until this recent post for The Dugout. Well, according to Baseball Reference, "Little Kruk" is currently clocking in at 225 lbs and doing mediocre work at AA-Reading. Through 38 games for the R-Phils, he's thrown 44.1 innings and posted a 3-4 record with a 4.26 ERA. His WHIP is 1.37 and he's walked 21 batters while striking out 52. 2009 is a recovery season for Zagurski, who underwent Tommy John surgery last year. He did start out in Clearwater this year, but he was called up to Reading in late April.

Oh, and if you're wondering who the heck Mike Zagurski is to begin with, here's an all-encompassing article from the Lawrence Journal-World. It chronicles his trip to Philly, starting with his not being drafted or recruited out of high school and culminating with his appearance in the majors in 2007.
