This wasn’t supposed to happen to Taijuan Walker. He was supposed to be the next great ace who would gobble up innings, rack up K’s, and dominate games. Walker has shown flashes, but injuries have derailed what appeared to be a very promising career. Should the Milwaukee Brewers take a flier on Walker for the 2020 season?
