Day Job

It's Anthony Tomey day at the Detroit Free Press. There's a story about his sub shop (with photos and sandwich suggestions) as well as a blurb about his prospects for making the team.

Interestingly, the article talks about his fastball not being fast enough, yet Tomey struck out a ton of batters in the minor leagues. His problem is that he walks a ton of hitters. He strikes out over 10 per 9, gives up a home run every 27 innings, but walks close to six per nine. He's two thirds of the way to a major league career. He got his walks down to 4.14 per 9 in AA last year and posted a great ERA. He's good on the Ks and HRs to survive four walks per nine.

Cool story. I hope he makes it.
