He's still in the minors, could he give football another try?

quote:

...Only for now, the shine seems off his star. He struggled in his first season at triple-A last year (7-13, 5.38 ERA, 1.53 WHIP) and never received a call-up when the Dodgers were struggling for a fifth starter during the season nor in September when rosters where expanded.

Now he’s fallen off Baseball America’s list of Dodgers Top 10 Prospects. He was No. 2 after the 2010 season, No. 1 after 2011, No. 5 after 2012 and No. 4 after 2013. After 2014, nada...

He turned 23 in September, so it’s not like all opportunity has passed him by. Still, this could prove a pivotal season for Lee, who typically has done better his second season at each minor-league level. But if he doesn’t raise his status and get back on the prospect radar, you have to wonder if he won’t yet decide to give football a try.

No his eligibility clock is over. He started classes/enrolled back then so his clock started years ago. Sucks but that's the way it is

He's prob gonna be called up to the Dodgers pretty soon. If you didn't know, our rotation is in shambles right now.

He has no picture so likely still has eligibility.

The 5 year clock starts only after being enrolled as full time status. It depends on how many hours he took in the summer and how many hours are considered full time during the summer semester. I'm not sure how many hours were considered as full time in the summer 5 years ago, but its 10 hours now. If he was under 10 hours, he's eligibility is good. I highly doubt he enrolled into more than 10 hours as a freshman in the summer.

IF he was an enrolled early in the spring, then yes absolutely his clock started and his time is up.

He pitched a good amount in spring training as well. Pretty terrible report from the OP.

Unless something changed, he only lost one year of eligibility. That is how it was several years ago anyway. He basically can't redshirt.
