Recently released by the cardinals, jeff luhnow gave him a chance with the astros. He had never made it past high A.
The cardinals didnt need him as a catcher so they switched him to pitcher. My understanding was that he had lost lots of velocity.
I am sad to say IMO this should be a lesson learned for everyone.
