Apparently Alan Horne is ahead of schedule as he comes back from his latest shoulder ailment, and will face live hitters for the first time tomorrow. I wish him luck, but it’s hard to think that he’ll contribute much if anything at this point. In much more interesting news, Mike Ashmore says Damon Sublett has been throwing side sessions. Yes, the same Damon Sublett that’s played second base and some outfield since being drafted in 2007. Sublett played second and closed at Wichita State (31.2 IP, 11 H, 3 R, 0 ER, 16 BB, 54 K before not pitching much as a junior), and I actually thought he was a better prospect as a pitcher than a hitter at the time of the draft. He was 91-94 with a curve back then, not sure what he has now though.
