John Olerud reported to Pawtucket.

Perhaps the more interesting note is that he was one of the few people in the majors to be drafted and never play a minor league game before he played in Pawtucket a couple days ago. Surprising.

He was 1-4 with a HR.

Wow, I didn't know that. You'd think he would've had rehab assignments in the minor leagues in his career like most, if not all, major league players. I thought he was in the Yanks' AAA team before the Yanks signed him, but guess not.

Jojn Olerud played last night.. got a hit against the Yankees. All they need is for him to contribute anything when he has the chance.

Olerud was one of the 3 players that NEVER played a minor league game before his game the other day with Pawtucket

He went 3-6 against the Yankees, and if the pitcher's body didn't get in the way, he would have been 5-6. With Millar's struggles, the lead feet of Olerud could be helpful.
