Athletes - Corey Koskie


Cordel Leonard "Corey" Koskie (born June 28, 1973 in Anola, Manitoba, Canada) is a Major League Baseball player currently with the Milwaukee Brewers. He is notable for being one of the most prominent Canadian baseball players currently playing. The third baseman bats left-handed and throws right-handed.

Koskie was drafted by the Minnesota Twins in the 26th round of the 1994 amateur draft and subsequently made his Major League debut on September 9, 1998. He established himself in 1999 as the Twins' third baseman of the future by hitting .310 and knocking in 58 runs. In 2000 he batted .300 with a .400 on-base percentage and in 2001 he had his most offensively productive season when he hit 26 home runs, had 103 RBI and scored 100 runs.

Koskie signed a three-year, $16.5-million deal with the Toronto Blue Jays on December 14, 2004. Unfortunately for Blue Jays fans, an injury plagued 2005 cut his productivity and playing time as he struggled with a .249 average, with 11 homeruns, 36 RBIs and 4 stolen bases in 97 games.

On January 6th, 2006 he was traded by the Blue Jays to the Brewers for pitching prospect Brian Wolfe. The deal appears to be a salary dump for the Blue Jays who had a log jam at third base, while the Brewers acquire a veteran infielder with solid glove and bat to anchor their very young infield.

He has been named to play for Canada at the World Baseball Classic.
