I would rather have a league average starter under team control for six years than a really good middle reliever for two months but that's just me. 

Had we won the WS in 2014 - which IMO we should’ve - I’d have been fine with that deal.

ERod hasn’t done much since his rookie year, anyway. It’s not like we gave up Curt Schilling here...

I would refer you to your board name...

He went with the ironic name, like Calmunderfire did.

It's a weird feeling that I've followed Tillman from talented and exciting prospect, to bright young star, to team veteran, to what may be the twilight of his career.  Pretty rare you get a guy with your team long enough to see all four corners of that.

What's a shame is it came on so sudden.

[Chavez Ravine]

Some better pitches from Chris this inning.

Most players bounce around during the final downward spiral.

Yeah usually to the Orioles.  But with Tillman we actually got to see the first three phases too!

This on Buck. Tillman is done. Everyone sees it except Buck. 

[scOtt]

Betts "pitch" is a fat FB?

[eddie83]

He needs to retire or go down to the minors. He isn’t ready to compete at this level. 

[Hank Scorpio]

I mean.... it’s a shame. Boston is a good offensive team, but Tillman is just fresh meat for any major league lineup. 

This was beyond predictable tonight. They are scorching everything.

[LocoChris]

Tillman may be done as a major league pitcher. He seems to have reverted to his pre-2012 windup and he's getting pre-2012 results. 

[Aristotelian]

TIllman is absolute GARBAGE

Who knows. Brady was said to have been the point man on Tillman.

This might get ugly ?

Schilling was so bad the first year after we gave him up that Houston cut him.

It took going to another team before he was any good.

But without the throwing hard part.
