TJ McFarland interest?

[maybenxtyr]

He's a FA and has some success in AAA Syracuse this season. Any interest in a reunion for some relief help? I'm not big on starting threads or anything, so don't kill me.

No bad minor league contracts but bet Hernandez gets a shot first if Perez DFAed.

I had totally forgotten about him. Certainly could be a replacement for Perez.

Good call @maybenxtyr

I used to see Macfarland at the casino in the off-seasons when he pitched in Norfolk and Baltimore years back. Every time I saw him in there  he was hammered. It was hilarious. 

Good dude. Not awful org depth. Maybe the current regime can unlock something. He had some success his first go round with the O’s.

Maybe they  could start by helping him not get hammered so often?

LOL maybe! In his defense it was l Friday or Saturday night and it was in the off-season when he was like 23 or 24. He would be hammered, yes but he was still polite and fun. I never saw anything of poor character from him.  He was always wearing an O’s hat also.

I'm sure the Orioles brass were very proud that he represented the team while drunk. Lol

Wow! I always liked TJ. Never would have thought to look into him. He must still have friends in the warehouse. I agree, really good call.

My initial memory was him constantly being wild and hitting lefties. At one point like 3 appearances in a row. Or something like that. Or maybe that was someone else.

As long as he wasn't on this guy's level:

My absolute favorite McFarland memory is he and O’Day slow-motion running in the wigs and wild outfits in the 2014 “We Won’t Stop” video.

My first thought was, “wow, when did Herc (“The Wire”) play for the O’s?”

But then I realized it was Sidney “The Aruban Knight “ Ponson out on the town.

Looking at his stats, 2 seasons ago he had a 1.060 WHIP and a 2.56 ERA in 40 innings. They might think they can tweak his stuff and get close to that.
