My friend's son.
He's had quite the odyssey. Was drafted by the Mariners right out of HS and started in Low A. Worked his way up to AA and was traded to the Yankees, who almost immediately traded him to the Twins, where he hit AAA pretty fast.
Played a few games for the Twins as a relief pitcher and then went to SF in free agency.
Last season, he told off a pitching coach who wanted to pull him from a game. Immediately got busted back to AAA and was traded to the Rangers, who traded him to Boston. (still in AAA).
Boston put him on waivers. At the last possible moment, Tampa Bay claimed him. Looked like he was going to finish in AAA.
But the Rays went through most of their roster due to injury, and ended up calling him up - they told him that they were going to make him a starter.
AND HE'S KICKING ASS!
