I'm sorry, who? Chris Waters?
Macon. Myrtle Beach. Greenville. Provo. Myrtle Beach again. Mississippi. Bowie. Norfolk. Bowie again. Norfolk again. And last night, Waters made his unlikely big-league debut for Baltimore against Anaheim.
All he did was throw a one-hit shutout for eight innings, handing the ball to Georgie "Uh-Oh" Sherrill to save it in the ninth. [...]
