Yanks placed Thornton on waivers - claimed by the Nats and Yanks just let him go - sounds like Lingren could be called up to take his place? He would be youngest player in the major leagues - thought Thornton was okay - hitting the gun at 95-96 recently but it now looks like we may yet see the strikeout factory make its debut sometime soon (or someone else but I'd rather see Lingren). All in my humble opinion.
