Luis Cotto won't return to the York Revolution in 2008. One of the hardest working players on York's inaugural team, Cotto is one of several Atlantic League players to sign with the Edmonton Cracker-Cats of the Northern League.
Newark's Marcus Nettles and Lancaster's Chris Van Rossum have also signed with Edmonton according to the Edmonton Sun.
Nettles is the biggest name of the three, stealing 49 bases for the eventual league champions. Van Rossum batted .254 and hit 13 homers for Lancaster. Cotto batted .244 in a backup role for York, but he did have a .350 OBP. He also worked all season in the batting cage, the one player who consistently took extra batting practice.
