I just want to point out that Josh Fields is super.
Fields was a two-sport athlete at Oklahoma State University, playing both baseball and football. He was selected as a Big 12 Conference All-Star at third base in 2003, and had a career batting average of .364 over three years. Fields also earned three letters as a quarterback for the Cowboys. He owns the school record for most touchdown passes (55), and led the team to two bowl games, including setting the Cotton Bowl record with 307 passing yards against the University of Mississippi.
Some more information, courtesy of Wikipedia.
Entering 2005, Fields was ranked as the fourth-best prospect in the White Sox organization and the 95th-best prospect in Major League Baseball by Baseball America.
Prior to the 2006 season, Fields was once again ranked as the fourth-best prospect in the White Sox organization by Baseball America.
Fields entered the 2007 season ranked as the second-best prospect in the White Sox organization and the 45th-best prospect in Major League Baseball by Baseball America.
Fields ended his first season as a Major Leaguer by hitting .244, with 23 HR, 67 RBI, and an OPS of 788 in 100 games. His 23 HR ties him with Bill Melton for 3rd most HR by a White Sox player in their rookie season, Melton did that in 157 games.
Fields received one third-place vote for AL Rookie of the Year.
Yes, THE Bill Melton.
