How did I only now notice that Ha had been converted to pitcher?

How did I only now notice that Ha had been converted to pitcher?

 

Because like everyone else, you kind of forgot he existed?

 

Serious question though; how many success stories are there regarding guys who were converted between pitcher/position player at this point in their minor league career? There are guys like Marmol and Wells who made the jump early on. But other than Rick Ankiel, I can't think of too many who did it after at any point after spending time in AA or above.
