by Alex B on May 12, 2008 7:25 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Thanks, Wikipedia

“The Padres then converted the strong-armed Bush to a pitcher. His fastball reaches a speed of 95 mph and he has prior knowledge of pitching from his days as a high school ace. After a promising start in rookie league, Bush tore a ligament in his pitching elbow and is not expected to pitch again until the 2009 season.”

That sucks almost as bad as the Josh Hamilton story. At least Hamilton has a somewhat happy ending now.
