Tommy Hunter Appreciation Thread

[ReclaimTheCrown]

Will really miss Tommy, best of luck with the Cubs. Guy got way too much hate as a pitcher here - was a solid bullpen piece that I think it foolish to trade at this point.

But I digress - good luck, Tommy. Will be at Wrigley in a few weeks and will give him a shout in my O's gear. What an entertaining guy.

Good pitcher, great guy. Roch's article shows a lot about what he meant to the team.I hate to see him go.

I know the objective world of stats will not back me up but... not having Tommy Hunter in the clubhouse is not be a good thing. We can debate the merits of his production but what Roch says in his blog post this AM.

They need to finish coming to grips with the Tommy Hunter trade, which is as popular in the clubhouse as raw sewage. It's a tough sell for players, with the return for one of the most popular figures on the team being a Triple-A shortstop-turned-outfielder who may or may not crack the expanded roster in September. They smell a salary dump and they're not happy, but this too shall pass.

I'm going to really miss Tommy. I remember his cavorting around during the 2014 Championship video "We Won't Stop!" I wish him good luck with the Cubbies.

Cuts down the cost of the Parra acquisition.

If Tommy really loves it here so much then he could re sign in the offseason. Especially if O'day leaves. Right now our pen is looking like...

Britton-out of options

Brach-out of options

Roe- out of options

Bundy-out of options

Macfarland-out of options

Add O'day then Givens, Wright, Wilson, SJ, Cabral, Rondon, and it's looking pretty full.

I get the feeling Dan D is also as popular as raw sewage

I'll miss seeing him downing beers once we make the playoffs again this year.

I'm glad that Hunter pitched well in his final game as an Oriole.

2 shutout innings.

6 up, 6 down.

And as usual, he threw strikes ....... 29 Pitches (21 Strikes, 8 Balls.)

We'd have to shed some salary to bring back Tommy Hunter next year... he makes what now? About 4.5 a season I think? With all these cheap arms coming up from the minors, we can probably shift that money to other focuses.

I won't be upset if he comes back later though.

McF should have an option remaining.
