Jody Gerut, now a player agent, has fond memories of his rookie season with Cleveland Indians

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- To Jody Gerut, it doesn't seem like 12 years ago.

He cherishes the memories from his rookie season, that sharp single to center off of Sterling Hitchcock. He can vividly recall the details of that 2003 campaign, which makes it feel fresh, recent.

Of course, Gerut, clad in a tan suit jacket, looks like he could still slap a single the other way. The 38-year-old, now an agent with Wasserman Media Group, is spending the week at the Winter Meetings in Nashville. He has worked as an agent for three years.

"It's fairly close [to playing]," Gerut said.
