Not many details as of this writing, but Diario Libre.com is reporting that oft-traveled RHP Jose Lima, whose tumultuous 12 year career in the majors is best remembered for a 21-win campaign for Houston in 1999 and a complete game shut-out for LA versus St. Louis in the 2004 NLDS, passed away last night in a Los Angeles hospital.
Most recently on the roster of the Golden League’s Edmonton Capitals, Lima’s journey had taken him thru the Dominican, Mexican and Korean baseball circuits. Reliably quotable, Lima’s disastrous 4 starts during two tenures with the Mets in 2006 come to mind almost every time a Mets starter hits the DL. For perhaps the first time, I am truly sorry Lima Time will not be available.
