The Atlantic League’s York Revolution has reached agreement on a deal with lefty Ross Detwiler, per a club announcement.
Detwiler, who recently turned 32 years of age, is a nine-year MLB veteran. Over 578 total MLB frames, he owns a lifetime 4.36 ERA with 5.5 K/9 and 3.3 BB/9. Detwiler’s best season came back in 2012 with the Nationals, when he pitched to a 3.40 ERA over 164 1/3 frames.
More recently, opportunities have been tougher to come by for a pitcher who was once taken with the sixth overall pick of the 2007 draft. Detwiler was knocked around in 2016 with the Indians and A’s. And he failed to crack the majors last year for the first time since 2009, as he struggled through just 23 Triple-A innings on the season.
York is my World Series sleeper pick
nah… 80 wins tops.
with that bullpen…..yikes
Sugar Land Skeeters baby!
Grew up there.
Unnecessary comment.
Even more unnecessary comment
And you lay down the king of useless comments. Congratulations.
I’ll never forget that 2012 season. First ever 500 season, first division title, best record in baseball and heartbreaking game 5 loss.
and Det pitched a brilliant game 4 in place of innings limited Stras
Harper’s debut! Werth’s epic at bat that extended season for one more day! Still nothing takes away that game 5 loss’ sting. The other two game 5 losses don’t hurt as much as that first one. Just one strike away!
Poor drew storen
What the hell is a york revolution
A candy bar.
A independent league baseball team in eastern Pennsylvania?
I live like 40 minutes from York so I might have to go see them play this season. I love going to independent games and seeing some of the names on the rosters.
My Bakersfield Blaze A+ team became a sorry independent team called the Bakersfield train robbers. So lame, so sad
Hey same I’m about on hour away! Love the mini green monster in left field.
now writing for ilbtr….
Lol
As a National he had a great twitter handle: NationalDet
Signing of the year right here
Ross Ohlendorf? Dementia must be catching up to me.
Do you still remember what it felt like when they won in 1983?
Jose Tabata signed by the Revolution also, if anyone remembers him…
Max Scherzer definitely does
So stoked to have him on my company’s softball team.
God, what took them so long? The ALTR has run this so far into the ground that it’s anticlimactic. Monday’s Ross Ohlendorf Rumors, Thursday’s Ross Ohlendorf Rumors…….and on and on and on.
Is that like the Joliet Jackhammers?
Joliet Jackhammers are trash. They will finish in last place.
They don’t exist anymore anyway…not the Joliet Slammers will go all the way to the Frontier League Championship
No way. Traverse City Beach Bums rule that league and you know it.
They’re good but we all know the newly founded Chicago Dogs of the American Association are the cream of Indy Baseball
“So you’re signing with the Revolution, we-e-ell you know… we’d all love to see you pitch…”
