Here it goes
What ever happen to Greg Maddux? I remember him with the Padres then he fell off the face of the freaking earth.
What ever happen to Jim Edmonds? I remember him playing for the Cubs last year, then what?

Before I opened this thread, I thought we signed him or traded for him something. I was ready to puke.
I hate my pretentious sounding username too.

I believe the young pitcher is Lincecum.

Well thing is We all know where Maddux and Edmonds are. But who talks about Clement. And.. this little thread I started also seemed to start a conversation about pitchers weve had and pitching in general. I could have looked it up all on my own like a big boy. Or I could have started a conversation about it like forums are for

pwned?
I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.

The young pitcher is Luke Hochevar and the writer was either Joe Poznanski or Rany Jazeryli. They both discussed this very subject. KB and I must visit the same blogs.
