Look Out Below

Edgy MD May 26 2015 06:36 AM

Duane Below is having a quietly excellent season down there on the old farm. He was announced to be the PCL pitcher of the week and then he went out and pitched a complete game over the Colorado Springs Sky Sox for good measure. He wasn't even expected to be in the rotation, and now he's Wally Backman's anchor, working with a 4-2 record and a 2.18 ERA. He's only struck out 23 in his 41.1 innings, but he's only walked six and that ain't bad for a guy who didn't even get a spring training invite. When you're looking for lefty help, look Below.

He's 29. Do lefties really "develop later" or is that a myth? He struck out 2 in 9 IP last night. Maybe he has learned to command all of his pitches to be effective. We may soon find out. Later

If he was any good, they'd have traded him for Ben Zobrist by now.
