Switch to pitcher

[jacksonianmarch]

Hey scaff, are there any sox position players that have made the switch to pitcher this past yr. Sometimes it really takes off. Great armed OFs who cannot hit moving to the mound.

I say this because I was reading scout.com and there is a yankee kid who was just converted, 21 yr old Wilkins de la Rosa. He had a .505 OPS in low A ball and was converted during instructs to pitcher. He is a lefty who has been clocked in the high 90s. Granted, he needs a TON of work, but there seems to be someone every yr that makes that transition. This would be the second yr in a row for NY, Ferdin Tejeda was switched and he was hitting high 90s before TJ knocked him out until mid 07. I know Edgar Martinez made the switch, but has anyone else?

Edgar Martinez was a catcher

I know he was a switch, but that was a long time ago. Anyone else?

I hear Matt Clement became a pitcher...I think he was a BP instructor before.
