In the spirit of Opening Day today I was wondering who all in the SEC have players that are currently on a big league roster.

Off the top of my head I know that SC has 4 active players on MLB rosters.

Alabama (5):
Alex Avila (C, Detroit Tigers)
Tommy Hunter (RHP, Baltimore Orioles)
Wade LeBlanc (LHP, Miami Marlins)
David Robertson (RHP, New York Yankees)
Josh Rutledge (INF, Colorado Rockies)

Arkansas (5):
Drew Smyly - Detroit Tigers
Craig Gentry - Texas Rangers
Logan Forsythe - San Diego Padres
Cliff Lee - Philadelphia Phillies
Eric Henske - Arizona Diamondbacks

Auburn (3):
Tim Hudson - Braves
David Ross - Red Sox
Josh Donaldson - Athletics

Florida (4):
Mark Ellis - Dodgers
Darren O'Day - Orioles
Paco Rodriguez - Dodgers
David Ross - Red Sox

Georgia (4):
Gordon Beckham - White Sox
Mitchell Boggs - Cardinals
Jeff Keppinger - White Sox
Josh Fields - Astros

Kentucky (3):
Joe Blanton - Angels
Collin Cowgill - Mets
Scott Downs - Angels

LSU (2):
41 Charlie Furbush Seattle Mariners Pitcher
2 Aaron Hill Arizona Diamondbacks Infielder

Ole Miss (4):
Zach Cozart - Cincinnati SS
Lance Lynn - St. Louis SP
Chris Coghlan - Miami LF
Seth Smith - Oakland LF

Miss St (4):
Paul Maholm LHP - Atlanta Braves
Jonathan Papelbon RHP - Philadelpia Phillies
Mitch Moreland 1B - Texas Rangers
Tyler Moore 1B/OF - Washington Nationals

Missouri (4):
Ian Kinsler - Rangers
Aaron Crow - Royals
Max Scherzer - Tigers
Shaun Marcum - Mets

South Carolina (5):
Jackie Bradley Jr. - Boston Red Sox
Justin Smoak - Seattle Mariners
Brian Roberts - Baltimore Orioles
Steve Pearce - Baltimore Orioles
James Darnell - San Diego Padres

Tennessee (5):
RA Dickey - Blue Jays
Todd Helton - Rockies
Chase Headley - Padres
