About a year ago I checked in on the Baby Jays and mentioned Cale Iorg, the son of Garth Iorg.
The youngest of Iorg's three sons, Cale didn't play an official baseball game from when he left for Portugal on a Mormon mission in July of 2005 until August of 2007. Garth said Cale had stayed in shape over those two years and had thrown a baseball, but hadn't swung a bat.
Last week Iorg reported to the Tigers' Spring Training camp a week after concluding his honeymoon in St. Lucia, after marrying his wife he did not see once during his 2 years in Portugal.
"He is a well-above average prospect," Tigers manager Jim Leyland says. "He's athletic, he has good instincts, there's juice in his bat.
"He is what you categorize as being in the upper echelon of prospects. I think he'll be a major league shortstop."
