Lyles to OKC (?)

Zachary Levine is tweeting that, while the team is not confirming/denying, Jordan Lyles is likely heading to OKC to start the season. The average age of a pitcher in the Pacific Coast League in 2011 was 27.1 (whereas it was 23.6 in the Texas League), so for the 21 year-old Lyles, it's fine to give him some more seasoning in Triple-A.
