Anybody heard of Walker Whittley?

SCL posted some transactions today:

Aiken signed 1B Ryan Pressley - Anderson had released him on July 29. Now he'll probably score the game-winning run against us the next time we play.

Bradenton released LHP Pat Ford.

Anderson signed RHP "Walker Whittley" - I wonder if this is Walker Whitley who played for Florida International University last year ...

I don't know ... the last thing the Joes need is a pitcher named "WALKER" :rolleyes: .
Sorry Whit, I'm just kiddin'. WELCOME TO ANDERSON :D

got this from the Joes Game Notes at www.andersonjoes.com

"-To replace Howard’s spot on the roster, Anderson has signed RHP Walker Whitley. Whitley, a recent graduate of Florida International, is a 6-foot-6, 210-pound righty who went 3-3 with a 6.48 ERA in 22 appearances – both starting and relieving – this season. In 76.1 IP, Whitley struck out 60 while allowing just 12 walks. Whitley should contend for Howard’s now-vacant spot in the starting rotation."
