Sam Fuld was the Cubs’ 10th-round pick out of Stanford in 2004.
He made a steady march through the Cubs farm system, played briefly for the big-league club in 2007, then made the team as a backup outfielder in 2009, playing reasonably well that year, not so much the following year, and after the 2010 season he was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays in the infamous deal that brought Matt Garza to Chicago.
Fuld wound up with an eight-year MLB career in which he hit .227/.307/.325 with 12 home runs and 67 stolen bases in 595 games.
