I’ve been getting a lot of mail about TIm Salmon, about whom I’ve mostly said something like: “He looks terrible, but there doesn’t seem to be any reason for it. Maybe we don’t know something pertinent. Or maybe he’s simply lost the ability to do it. If the price gets cheap enough I still want him, he’s not a dead duck yet, but there’s lots of reasons to be worried.”
This here story at Baseball Prospectus by Chris Dankberg brings up another once-upon-a-time star who flagged like Salmon. It’s well worth a read.
