I wish him the best

I hope he can salvage something out of his career elsewhere.

Hopefully, some place where he’ll get 3-4 starts against the Pirates next year.

JvB will be missed. I was wondering if you could also add The ’Burgh Blues to your link lists. I will be adding your site once I get my .com up in the spring.

He seemed like a good guy. Best of luck to him.

It has to be said now that it's over . . .

wonder what have happened if he was groomed as a hitter? Regardless, I hope he does well.
