Might as well throw Mitchell Boggs and Kyle McClellan into the mix.

Coming from truly dirt poor to driving anything you desire. Still dresses old school middle class.
His skills may be diminishing because of age but he is still working hard to stay in shape. He lives in Jupiter in the off season to keep working between vacations. Spends time with the minor leaguers there coaching them up. I loved the guy ever since the NY playoff game when I had already had tickets to the WS. He made it possible for me and my son to see a WS won in person. Forever grateful. When he is done, he's going to get "something" at the stadium. Statue, area named after him etc. |

I understand putting together a huge bucket of relievers and see who still has it, has recovered to prior form or is ascending. And I approve.
Relievers in 2018 are a violate bunch, You never know from year to year what performance you will get from these guys. I hope that its just a friendly deal to retire a Cardinal. He was a fun guy to watch in 2011. He contributed significantly to that championship. Was more of a down to earth player than most. I liked the guy a lot. But, as a MLB pitcher, he is done. |

I always liked Motte, but does he have anything left? I guess a minor league deal can't hurt.
