Bob Ojeda

I don't know how many of you use him in this game, but he's very effective in a LH hitters park. Anyway, here's a very interesting piece in the NY Times about the pain a big league pitcher has to deal with on a daily basis.

NYT has a paywall after 15 or so freebies, so the link may not work for everyone ...

I find it an absorbing read when a former ballplayer, in his own words, talks about what playing baseball for a living is really like. As long as it's well-written (as this one is), it is much more interesting to me than a 3rd person account by a sportswriter.

As a Mets fan, I loved Bobby O.

Nice piece.

My only experience with him. He pitched well in $100M but got no run support: http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/team/team_other.html?user_id=339582
