Wade Townsend?

It looks as if he is starting to pitch with Vero Beach, and is being successfull. 1.35 ERA, i mean not a lot of innings but the strikeouts are there. Does he have a future in our bullpen? He was i think the 8th overall pick and i would hate to just write him off like we have in the past. I dont know if anyone has seen him pitch lately, but after price went out last outing, i think townsend came in and pitched pretty good according to his stats.

Do we have a minor league team in Tampa?

Sorry, I had to throw out that subtle jab as a proud member of St. Pete.

He struck out the side in both innings his last outting...

i see no reason why not

his first year was taken by catastrophic injury, and his first year back was really not horrible for it being his first professional year. seems he was promoted too high when they sent him directly to AA, now he’s back where he belongs and can progress properly.
