ALTOONA, Pa. — If this baseball thing doesn't work out, Mitch Keller might have a future as a fortune teller. After all, Keller just told DKPittsburghSports.com a couple of weeks ago he would be playing for the Pirates soon.
“I‘m about to be playing with them soon,” Keller said in Chris Bradford's coverage. “It’s a lot of fun knowing that I’ll be soon playing with them.”
Soon is fast approaching. Wednesday afternoon, Keller moved one step closer when he was promoted to Triple-A Indianapolis following a successful stint at Double-A Altoona. He wasn't alone, as teammate Jason Martin, acquired in the deal that sent Gerrit Cole to Houston, also was called up to Indianapolis.
