A few persons here may remember Jim Bouton using the phrase “I died” when he was sent back to the minors.

Sam also “died” yesterday as he was sent down to AAA. Deservedly so. The combination of a trade and Sam’s ineffectiveness sealed his fate. He still gives up too many hits and WHIPS of 1.47 and 1.65 can end a reliever’s career quickly.

But he (they) will eventually figure it out. He’ll be back. This year. But will he ever be 100% healthy? Hope so.
