doug1642 Joined: 05/25/2014 Posts: 8 Federal Way Knights IV.7 | Hello, I picked up this pitcher George Walker off of the waivers prior to the season starting. He has no minor league stats. I do not see that he is hurt, don't know if that happens to minor league players. Can you let me know what's up? thanks http://brokenbat.org/player/119493 |

He hasn't spent any time at AA even, and he's behind in his development. He might be ready in 2-3 (or 4) seasons, but it'll take some good fortune and a lot of playing time. I'd try moving him down a level and see if that helps. | ||
