[edit] Early life

Logan grew up in Helotes, Texas, and attended Sandra Day O'Connor High School.

[edit] Playing career

He was selected in the 20th round of the 2002 Major League Baseball Draft by the Chicago White Sox. He became a local sports news story after advancing from the Sox's Rookie League affiliate, the Great Falls White Sox, straight to the major league club during spring training in 2006.[1]

On December 4, 2008, Logan was traded, along with Javier Vázquez, to the Atlanta Braves for minor league catcher Tyler Flowers, shortstop Brent Lillibridge, third baseman Jon Gilmore and pitcher Santos Rodriguez.[2]

On December 22, 2009, Logan was once again traded along with Javier Vázquez, this time to the New York Yankees for Melky Cabrera, and prospects Michael Dunn and Arodys Vizcaino.[3] On April 16, 2010 Logan was called up by the Yankees to replace Chan Ho Park in the Yankee bullpen.
