Logan Signed By Ducks
By Atlantic League Independent Wire Services on June 22, 2008
CENTRAL ISLIP, NY – Long Island Ducks team officials today announced the signing of outfielder Nook Logan. The 28-year-old outfielder spent the past four seasons in the Major Leagues, batting .265 with Washington in 2007.
“Nook gives us another solid bat in the lineup and solidifies our outfield,” says Ducks manager Dave LaPoint. “We’re excited to have him on our club and look forward to his contributions on the field and in the clubhouse.”
A third round draft pick of the Detroit Tigers in 2000, Logan made his Major League debut with Detroit in 2004. He hit .278 with eight steals in 47 games while getting his first taste of the big leagues. The following season, he appeared in 129 games with the Tigers, swiping 23 bases on 29 attempts, and connecting for 5 triples. The speedster hit .300 with the Nationals in 2006, and holds a career average of .268 with 56 stolen bases in four big league campaigns. The Mississippi native’s finest minor league season came with Erie (AA, Tigers) of the Eastern League in 2003, where he collected seven triples and a career-high four home runs and 38 RBI with 37 stolen bases. He swiped a career-best 67 bags with Single-A West Michigan (Tigers) of the Midwest League in 2001.
In order to make room on the 25-man roster, the Ducks announced that outfielder Kevin Haverbusch has been placed on the inactive list.
The Long Island Ducks play their home games at Citibank Park and are in their ninth season of play in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. For further information, visit www.liducks.com, or call (631) 940-3825.
