Interesting Read...

I'm not really an ESPN fan, but this article is kind of an interesting read, if you discount all of the Rick generated false quotes...

Looked at the headline – everything i’ve read from the ‘experts’ is that this guy is a novelty/sideshow- has not good enough stuff – from either side – to really be a major league pitcher.

Probably would have been better for his long term career if he had picked a side and focused younger

Blocked shots — they look great, but unless you secure the ball afterward, you haven’t helped your team all that much.

True. But just as an oddity, it’s something interesting to take a look at.

Jim Abbot continues to be my most favorite baseball oddity (in my lifetime)

Until this go throws a no hitter it will continue to be Jim Abbot

+1 to Jim Abbot. Great role model for kids to. He’s the poster-boy for, “If you work hard enough, you can do anything.”
