Chris Tillman attempting a comeback

[SteveA]

He's been working out at an academy in Florida with former Oriole pitching coach Dave Wallace.

Just saying that hypothetically, it could be good for a pitchers velocity be out of the MLB testing protocol for a year or two.

Worked for Kazmir.

I’ll always root for the guy.   He was a big part of our 2012-16 success.   It’s too bad his shoulder let him down.

 Maybe the monks from Mortal Kombat that worked on Jax’s arms can work on Tully’s shoulder. After what we have seen with Matt Harvey, I’m always down taking a flyer. Plus, as Frobby said, he was a big part of our last window of success so he has earned the right for us to give him another chance.

I would not hold my breath or bet the farm.

But, it has happened before on occasion.

I wish him well.

He's done it once.

Much tougher task this time.

Yea, Buck can't get him a contract.

I dont disagree, but he does have age on his side.

He doesnt have 3 years of wear and tear on his pitching arm.

There is such a fine line between succeeding and not succeeding, that its possible. Not like Palmer at 46 coming back with nothing in the tank.

Low risk, high reward, if he has anything, he will get an invite to somebody minor league system.

[Can_of_corn]

I don't think we have a realistic scenario in which he would end up as a high reward.

High reward? How do you define that?

Do I really have to explain this to you?

Seriously?

Low risk and there is a small percentage chance of high return, by being able to perform at the major league level for a MLB club.

Yes, most reclamation projects, dont work out, but they can and do happen.

Yes you do because high reward, to me, means he is a substantial piece to the roster.  
 

That is an outrageous thought.

This would be more like, low risk, mediocre reward imo.

So yes, how are YOU defining high reward?

Yeah, I agree.   I’m rooting for the guy but that doesn’t mean I think the O’s should bring him back.  Let some other team give him a whirl.
