Back in July, Josh Kirshenbaum of the Tacoma News Tribune wrote a lovely piece on LHP Ross Detwiler, the former 1st-round pick who now found himself on the fringes of MLB existence. Detwiler was stoic about his lot:
“If it’s the end of the line, it’s the end of the line, and if it’s not, here we are.”
But last night, thanks to a sudden illness befalling Mike Leake, Detwiler got another shot at MLB work. He was, all things considered, solid against one of the most terrifying offenses in the league.
