Every week of the offseason leading up to the start of the 2018 St. Cloud Rox season on May 29, we will pick a former Rox player as the Player of the Week.
This week, it’s Will Craig, a first baseman who played in St. Cloud during the 2014 season. Craig, who is 23 years old, is currently playing for the Altoona Curve, the Double-A affiliate of the Pittsburgh Pirates.
