Former Wild Things pitcher released
There is one less former Wild Things player in spring training. Left-handed pitcher Alan Williams was released last week by the Milwaukee Brewers.
Williams played in only three games with Washington in 2011 before being signed by the Brewers following an impressive outing out of the bullpen at home against Windy City. He moved from Low-Class A in 2011 to high-Class A the following year and appeared to have a legit chance at someday making it to the major leagues.
Williams' career, however, fell off the tracks last year. He began the season at Class AA Huntsville and continued to pitch very well, striking out 32 in 30 innings. However, he was suspended for 50 games under minor league baseball's drug program following a second positive test for a drug of abuse. He returned later in the year and pitched in five games at lower levels.

I'm shocked that such a thing could happen to a former WT. LOL!
