That’s a really great read on Aardsma and many thanks for linking it here Jeff. Good insight on how a ballplayer prepares for life on the outside looking back in.
One of the power pitching guys who underwent TJ and didn’t regain his velocity. It hurt him a lot. filthy splitter and that FB was pretty much all he had. A favorite of mine since his Boston and Seattle days.

I would say the Marlins would love to be in the same situation as Harvey and the Mets… that would mean they’re in the playoffs

I always accepted the fact that Gillick would never publicly denounce Amaro since he’s a class act (my grandfather knew him in the early 90s), but it’s nice to see him able to acknowledge the necessity to sack him from a PR perspective.

It can’t be proven but it’s pretty likely that Aardsma is right about his contract being the deciding factor in his DFA/Release. That was a really good read and helped put back some perspective on how hard it is to stick around in the bigs. Hopefully he finds an opportunity to play next year.

Yeah that was interesting to read for sure. Its really ugly thing for the braves to do; though to be fair, i’m sure a lot of other clubs would have done the same thing.
