The Charlotte Cougars' 2045 first round pick, #3 overall, Thomas Turner got a phone call shortly after stepping off the mound in St. Paul and was told by GM Golden not to go to the bus with the rest of the team, and that there was a ticket waiting for him at the airport to get him to Charlotte instead of heading home during the AAA All Star game break.
Turner, fresh off a 9-month torn flexor tendon injury, gets the call up to the big league club following a short assignment back in AAA. In that week since his return, Turner didnt seem to have missed a beat. In his 2 starts, Turner went 10.1 innings (being on a strict pitch count), giving up 3 earned runs, and 9 hits with 7 strikeouts and 2 walks.
Last season, in 16 games of jumping straight into AAA from the draft, Turner went 6-1 in 89.2 innings with a 3.41 ERA and a 0.99 WHIP. He did all that while striking out 86 and only walking 16. Turner was shining bright enough and was getting excited about rumors he would be called up to Charlotte as a September call-up. Then, during his 28 Aug start, Turner felt a pop in his elbow.
So, as exciting as it would have been to see Turner last September, its even more exciting to see him added to an already outstanding pitching staff while the Cougars are barreling towards their first-ever playoff berth.

Only been around since 2040 so its not a totally horrible thing. However, I also picked up Nashville in 2034 when they were in a pretty bad situation too so never made the playoffs with them either. (But The Plan® was working when I left.)
