It's been a circuitous route to the big leagues for right-hander Clayton Mortensen, the newest rookie member of Oakland's starting rotation. A 24-year-old from Rexburg, Idaho, he attended a community college in Oregon before starring on the mound at Gonzaga University and signing with the Cardinals, who picked him 36th overall in the 2007 First-Year Player Draft.
