JD Durbin Demoted To AA Reading

The horrible saga that is the JD Durbin story is now at a new low.

“The Real Deal” has been sent to AA Reading from AAA Lehigh Valley. The 26-year-old went 0-5 with a 9.91 ERA in 26.1 innings for the IronPigs this season. Remember last year when he pitched a complete-game shutout against the Padres?

Suffice to say Durbin won’t be heading to Philadelphia anytime soon; meanwhile, JA Happ has a 2.72 ERA and a 55/23 K/BB ratio.

Tim first found the Phillies as a little infant at Veteran’s Stadium, cheering on a Juan Samuel game-winning home run in his very first game. With the pinstripes in his blood, he witnessed Terry Mulholland’s 1990 no-hitter, “Steve Carlton Night” at the Vet, game three of the 1993 World Series, countless games during the charmed 2008 championship season and various road excursions. Since November 2007 Tim’s been writing about them daily at Phillies Nation, becoming one of the world’s most popular Phillies scribes. You can catch him on Twitter and Facebook, as well. When he’s not talking about the Phils he’s relaxing with a St. Bernardus ABT 12 or one of his many favored brews.
