Past NWL Most Valuable Player award winners Corey Jones and Kole Calhoun were drafted in the 7th<\/sup> and 8th<\/sup> rounds, respectively.\u00a0 Jones, a former Rochester Honker in 2009, was drafted by the Detroit Tigers with the 223rd<\/sup> pick overall (7th<\/sup> round). \u00a0Calhoun, a 2007 co-MVP for the Eau Claire Express, was picked by the LA Angels in the 8th<\/sup> round.<\/p>\n
