What a whirlwind season it has been for pitcher Joe Turner. Signed out of the independent leagues to a minor-league contract by the Philadelphia Athletics, not much was expected out of the hard-tossing lefty. Whether it was a mechanical change, a does of good luck, or a little divine intervention, something clicked and Turner was given the chance to play at the Majors. In picking up his 1st AL Rookie of the Month award, Turner posted a 3-4 record with a 1.90 ERA in 61 2/3 innings of play. Turner is currently rated as the #10 prospect in MLB.
