Corey Hart times two for Sounds

By
June 24, 2005
NASHVILLE - Now manning the outfield for the Nashville Sounds -- Corey Hart. Soon to be manning the infield for the Nashville Sounds -- Corey Hart.

Confused?

The Milwaukee Brewers have purchased the contract of infielder Corey Hart from the Bridgeport (Ct.) Bluefish in the independent Atlantic League and assigned him to the Sounds' roster to replace recently-released infielder Matt Erickson. He will join the team in Oklahoma City tomorrow.

Hart has spent the entire 2005 season with Bridgeport, where the switch-hitter led the Atlantic League with a .466 on-base percentage and batted .305 (53-for-174) with one home run and 20 RBIs in 51 games of action, appearing primarily as the club's shortstop (14 errors). He drew a team-best 51 walks and struck out only 33 times.

Prior to this season, Hart batted .239 over seven years in the Kansas City Royals farm system after being selected in the 23rd round of the June 1998 draft. He finished the 2004 season in the Pacific Coast League, playing for Omaha.
