27 year old (It is now end of 1962 sim wise) Whammy Douglas is getting a chance to shed the first round bust tag that has been associated with his name.
Whammy was taken 14th overall by the Reds in 1957 draft. A bicep injury cost him a month of his rookie season split between AA New Orleans Pelicans and AAA Seattle Rainiers. He struggled terribly the next couple seasons in AAA, managing to pitch just 1 major league inning in 1959 and 2/3 of an inning in 1961.
Selected by the Mets in the 1962 expansion draft, Whammy struggled like the rest of their staff during his rookie season.
