Last year's top pick

[Sweet Swinging Billy]

Guys, help me out here. I was trying to remember the name of the kid that was the Cubs top selection in last year's draft. He was one of the top college relief pitchers wasn't he? Can you guys tell me at what level he's at, and how close is he to being called up to the major league level? Thank you in advance for your help.

His name is Andrew Cashner. He was just promoted from Daytona to Tennessee. He might get a September call up but the Cubs seem to possibly be tinkering with him as a starter instead of as a reliever which might delay his time table to the bigs (he started for the two years at Angelina JC before transferring to Texas Christian and becoming a closer).

 

Here are his stats: http://web.minorleaguebaseball.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?pos=P&sid=milb&t=p_pbp&pid=488768
