My guess it's the only paying gig he has, so he'll stay in Norfolk.

I truly hope that Tilly does.  Now he can learn how to pitch without depending on a fastball he no longer has.

You need to be able to truly command your pitches, Tillman has never been that guy.

[Moose Milligan]

Glad he had one more final day of glory this year when he twirled that gem.

He was great for us and a big part of the turnaround here.

If Tillman refuses does he still get paid?

But this is something he can learn once he slows down.

He gets paid.  We are basically cutting him, and on the hook for his major league contract.

The offer for Norfolk is totally unrelated to his major league contract.

No disrespect to him or his legacy, but...

 Very unlikely.

I remember Kim refused to go down to the minors. Is this different? Sorry I'm not sure of those rules.

Good. That was the proper thing to do.

Yes, but it is still about 18 months later than any other team in the majors would have taken

Better late than never. Maybe John is letting DD do what needs to be done.

So we are still not making a clean break. If he pitches in AAA he is wasting a roster spot and hurting the development of some viable player.

So tough for this organization to make simple decisions

Lighten up a little bit. Give John and the new so it seems DD a chance. For the rest of the season anyway.  I mean I am with you on some issues. But I just want to see what happens. Sorry if I sounded rude to you.

Kim's contract gave him the right to refuse being sent down which he exercised.
