I wonder how often a player is suspended for as long as he was last year and then comes back seamlessly?
Suspension plus injuries.
I am wondering if one might have in some way led to the other?
Could be but don’t know. My friend on the scene says he was not ready for AAA.
Which is fine! He's still super young. The real question is whether he has the maturity to dust himself off, learn the right lessons from the suspension and the struggles, and get back to developing his talent.
Starting tonight. So far 3IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 6K.
Finished line 5 innings. 1H 0R 0BB 9K.

Going back and looking at the context a bit. Had he gone to FSU instead of signing with Houston Whitley would have been drafted this summer. He would likely be in short-season A-ball or low-A ball right now.
Yes, but he did not, and Luhnow was expecting him in Houston this season.
Right. Rushed.
