Never would have dreamed we would want and/or need Nik Turley at any point this season... What the hell, toss him on the Tilt-O-Whirl and see if he doesn't <vomit emoji>
Today's prank: Told a co-worker I got a hot lead from the Austin Zoo that they need our services. Told her to call and ask for Jay Raffe. If he wasn't available, ask for Jim Panzie. She fell for it.
So my team has been having a prank war over the last 2 weeks. Some are nearing the edge of crossing the line... It first started with replacing my co-worker's family pictures with pics of her celebrity crush Brad Pitt. Others bought fake cockroaches and scattered them around the office. It's now evolved to a person making a craigslist ad saying there's an above garage apartment available for rent with my phone number... I rebutted by signing him up for Farmersonly.com yesterday.
As Reed's adopt-a-prospect father on this site, he faced at least 4 batters in his AA debut on June 2nd... He walked 3 and struck out one. 20 pitches, 7 strikes.
I would be. As Willihammer posted, the velocity dip after 55-60 pitches isn't good. The velocity in general 88-91 isn't exciting. If he forgoes pitching all together, then they just spent the #1 overall pick on a 1B/DH type.
