Some of you have probably already forgotten about this guy, but Brad Lidge may end up going down this route. The broken closer. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
 Dude had a nice 4-year run saving 144 games, culminating with a Rolaids Reliever of the Year award in 2002 for Oakland whereupon he went 11-4 with 44SV in 93IP with a 3.27ERA. 2 years later the guy was out of baseball at age 29, after saving only 19 additional games for the White Sox and Marlins, combined.

Re: Billy Koch
Holy S, I had no idea. WTF WHY DOESNT ESPN SHED LIGHT ON THIS KIND OF STUFF INSTEAD OF SHOVING BARRY DOWN OUR THROAT!?!?!
I thought he just broke...thanks for shedding light on this. I hope he gets better and gets back to baseball before it's too late. What a crappy way to have to end your career. [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img]

Re: Billy Koch
Very interesting article. He was a solid closer with us and I'd always wondered why he just completely fell off the face of the earth since he had such wicked stuff.

Re: Billy Koch
The funniest is when he was invited to Jays camp a few years ago and was one of the final cuts. Koch brought a bunch of people to the TOR-TB game in Tampa and booed the crap out of the Jays.

Re: Billy Koch
the weird thing about lidge was he was dominant in the playoffs the year before he gave up the homer to pujols in the nlcs
If im him I can live with Pujols hitting that homer However giving up a walk off to posednick in the world series would make me want to kill myself
