I mean he wasnt drafted, he was signed as an intl FA because of his bat presumably, then he mostly played in the pecos league until the Sox put him in their actual minor league system
two days ago someone on reddit said he was a piece of shit person, granted it was just some rando online but that was a specific criticism to me (I didn't know there were issues about him in his past until that post in this thread)
I'd imagine they're gonna try the chris sale approach, granted I don't remember him getting too many 2+ inning outings, though back then the 3 batter rule didn't exist either
the story after tonight, assuming the Sox win is 17? straight wins vs a LH starting pitcher
that's like worthy of national attention I would think, that hasn't happened in decades
