James Bentley Olander is a former Major League Baseball outfielder and currently a baseball scout. Olander attended Sahuaro High School in Tucson, Arizona. He was selected by Philadelphia Phillies in the 7th Round of the 1981 Major League Baseball Draft. Olander played in the minor leagues from 1981 to 1994 with the Phillies, Milwaukee Brewers, and Houston Astros organizations. He was successful in the minor leagues: in 1986 he was named to the Eastern League's All-star Team and was viewed by the Phillies organization as a prospect likely to play in the majors. However his following seasons were shortened by injury and he eventually left the Phillies organization and signed as a free agent with the Astros who soon after traded him to the Brewers. Olander was named the Most Valuable Player of the American Association in 1991. That same year he was a "September call-up" and joined the Brewers for 12 games. Olander was expected to fight for a spot on the Brewers 1992 40-man roster but he broke his leg in early May. He never played another major-league game. In October 2007, the Detroit Tigers promoted Olander from national crosschecker to big league scout, a job he still holds. [More at Wikipedia]
