This week, the Cubs claimed right-hander Robert Stock off waivers from Boston.
OK, so this is a pretty cool piece I get to write. Not because the news of the Cubs adding reliever Robert Stock off waivers from the Red Sox is earth-shattering news, but because I actually covered Stock a decade or so ago when he was a newly-converted catching prospect in the St. Louis Cardinals system.
St. Louis drafted Stock in the second round of the 2009 MLB Draft out of USC. A few short years later, the Cardinals moved him from behind the dish to the rubber.
