yes he did have asthma (as do I). but plenty of asthmatics are durable.
I recall seeing him using an inhaler occasionally.
But I still recall that he often broke down after any additional activity “on the field.” I always thought he was going to do better with Boston and the AL, since he would not have to bat. I guess I was wrong.
Yes, that would appear to be a pickoff throw. No power L, elbow outside the ball, ball facing home plate rather than appropriately at the SS and glove not tucked closer to body. If that’s him going to the plate, which I highly doubt, it’s an arm injury waiting to happen.
Juan Cruz?

Nope.
Al Yellon - January 17, 2009
Matt Clement?
14theofleury - January 17, 2009
that'd be my guess too

Musicdude10 - January 17, 2009
Yup. Gotta be Clement circa 2003?
dtpollitt - January 17, 2009
There's no mistaking that goatee
RIOTSHIRTS.com - January 17, 2009

Or the weird forearms.
Or the screwed up rotator cuff…

you are trying to trick us by using a picture of him throwing to first.
but based on the very pale skin, I ’ll say Wade Miller.
He never saw much sun light.

Clutche - January 17, 2009
It's defintely Gaudin
illini23 - January 17, 2009
Gaudin is 5'11
Clement is 6’3. I think this guy looks taller than 5’11.
dtpollitt - January 17, 2009
It's Matt Clement, found the pic!
Chanman25 - January 17, 2009
I would have guessed Clement, given the pale skin. why did Al not say anything?
talk about a guy who never got any sun! :-)
LAcarl519 - January 17, 2009
no Clement it isnt tat doesn't get the sun, sun doesn't get him
Chanman25 - January 17, 2009
I stand corrected!
I seem to recall that Matt Clement always failed after running the bases (he was a good pitcher, but a bit frail).
I’ll bet the fielding play (in this picture) soon brought an end to this outing.
LAcarl519 - January 17, 2009
mhmm
you just need to look at things in a different perspective!
Chanman25 - January 17, 2009
As I recall, Matt Clement had asthma.

Thanks for posting the original....
… you guys got it. I didn’t answer because I was at the convention.

Pickoff

krummy12 - January 17, 2009
A play at first, not a pickoff throw.
I don’t think there is that much wind-up in a pickoff throw.
