Martin's guy Scott Patterson is the one I was referring to the other day.  Pretty much the pitching equivalent of Mike Wilson.
Clawed his way all the way up from undrafted, through the indy leagues, to the majors, and struck out 7 of the 22 MLB batters he faced and only gave up 2 hits, but he walked a few too many and hasn't gotten another shot since 08.
Like Wilson last year, he got shipped down to AA to suit the org's needs.  He's just wiping out the hitters down there:
14.1 IP, 10 H, 2 ER, 0 HR, 0 BB, 17 K
I'm not saying he'd be any great star, but as an alternative to Chris Ray chucking in hittable fastballs, why not I say?  Martin's made a great case that he's a solid citizen and wiffle ball afficianado.
I'll try to write more about the guy when I have more time.  In the meantime, he has 10.7 K/9 and an infinite K/BB ratio.  Just the facts.
