Trevor Plouffe, a first-round draft pick from Encino Crespi in 2004, was called up by the Minnesota Twins Thursday night.

Plouffe is hitting .303 in Triple A. He has been patiently working his way up through the minors. He even has his own blog here.

Plouffe was a standout pitcher and shortstop for the Celts, leading them to a Southern Section championship his junior year.
