Down on the Farm keeping dibs on Dan Meyer's baseball success (or lack thereof.)

From the Oakland Athletics' web site:

"Lefty prospect Dan Meyer, who struggled mightily in losing his first two starts at Sacramento, picked up his first win Tuesday, allowing a run on five hits and five walks over five innings to lower his ERA to 7.62."

Having failed to make the cut for the A's major league squad, Meyer was sent to the Triple-A Wildcats. Where he has...um, run into some trouble. Apparently he spends the vast majority of his practice time playing Halo, which is throwing off his delivery (which now resembles more closely the chucking of a hand-grenade than an actual pitcher's wind-up.) Nonetheless, hope is held that Meyer will improve and make it to The Show.

For your viewing pleasure, two pictures.
