The Kansas City Royals have announced that they will attempt to convert shortstop Tony Pena, Jr. into a pitcher. So far this year, Tony Pena, Jr. has batted .098. Tony Pena, Jr. is the son of Tony Pena (both pictured below) and should not be confused with the other Tony Pena. Last year, during a 19-4 blowout against the Detroit Tigers, Tony Pena, Jr. pitched one inning and retired all three batters he faced. Tony Pena, Jr. will spend the next few months/years in the minor leagues working on the transition.
