Former Shocker Tommy Hottovy invited to Royals camp

[XManCometh]

Tommy Hottovy, 30, will make his first appearance in Major League spring training for his hometown Royals after inking a minor league deal on November 18, 2011. Born and raised in Kansas City and a graduate of Park Hill South High School and Wichita State University, the left-hander received his first big league call with the Red Sox in 2011, making eight relief appearances.

Good luck, Tommy. Though it'll be hard to crack that bullpen.

From today's intrasquad scrimmage:

Non-roster invitee Tommy Hottovy had a lot of movement on his pitches and continues to look like someone who has a future as a situational lefty, but it’s going to be very difficult for him to make the Royals out of spring training.

Good for Tommy! If he makes the team, he will be playing for his home team.
