PAT HENTGEN RUMORS & GOSSIP
Q&A: Pat Hentgen
Pat Hentgen had a lot of success against American League hitters in the 1990s, but he couldn’t solve Cecil. The Blue Jays right-hander had 19- and 20-win seasons, earned three All-Star berths, and won a Cy Young award. Against Cecil Fielder, he was a replacement-level stiff. Prince’s old man punished him to the tune of .360/.429/.880 in 57 plate appearances.

Blue Jays Notes: Pat Hentgen Steps Down, Team Not Seriously After Cespedes?
Just a couple of brief notes from the last couple of days:
First, the Blue Jays have announced this week that Pete Walker has been named the new bullpen coach, as a result of Pat Hentgen stepping down from the position due to family reasons. To be perfectly honest here, I’m not entirely sure exactly how much quantifiable impact a bullpen coach has on a pitching staff, but Hentgen...

Pat Hentgen’s Embarrassing Theater Room; Wants $2mm
What do we remember about Pat Hentgen’s run as a right-handed pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays? Oh, maybe that 1996 season when he won 20 games and had 10 complete games on his way to a Cy Young Award. That was pretty much the end, though. He’d eventually make $37,000,000 over a 14-year career and then buy a house in Tarpon Springs, Fla. with one of the most worthless...

Alex Gordon, Pat Hentgen, and Other Jays Musings
Jared Macdonald did a great job going through the reasons Zack Greinke may not be a fit for the Jays and may not be the right guy and I agree with him on all counts. Not only has Greinke expressed a yearning to stay out of the limelight, making any AL East team a bad one for him, but he also would cost the Jays too much “similar” ceiling talent in return. I understand...

Nice Timing By the Blue Jays
Doesn't it seem fitting that during the week that Sparky Anderson passes away, that his erstwhile phenom, Torey Lovullo got hired by a MLB team? Anderson was always touting this prospect or that one and many times, it became a laughable joke because the players ended up being terrible. Torey Lovullo was one of those. When Sparky called up Lovullo, his famous quote was: "...

Cooperstown Conundrums
There are some questions out there today, following yesterday’s Hall of Fame Announcement:
“Does Andre Dawson belong in the Hall of Fame?”
“What about Bert Blyleven? ”
“Would Robbie Alomar have been a first ballot Hall of Famer if he hadn’t spit on John Hirschbeck?”
But I have another one.
“Who the **** voted for Pat Hentgen...
