Now that the dust has settled on the Callaspo/Uribe trade, there’s another question that we should investigate: who is this Chris Withrow and why is he now a Brave?
Chris Withrow is a 26 year old right-hander who stands 6-4/215 that was drafted out of Midland high school (TX) as the 20th overall pick in 2007. In 2011-2012, he was positioned in the middle of some Dodgers’ top ten propsects lists, though that was while still a starting pitcher. He made the majors in June of 2013 as a reliever and stuck around in the Dodgers bullpen for long enough he’s no longer considered to be a rookie.
