Nice piece on the kid and his fight with benign tumors. I sort of question Felipe's yardstick by which to measure players, however. Radar gun? Forget it. Fondly buys flowers for the wife? He's getting the ball.

I had forgotten that I like Felipe Alou

The kid came up to pitch one game and he brought his wife and kid," Alou said. "That was a statement, and he went out and won the game. I don't think he brought his wife and kid to Pittsburgh to see him fail. He had some plans for them."

I'm a sucker for this nonsense. It's one of the reasons I always cut Dusty a lot more slack than his decisions warranted. Sure, he overworked his young pitchers and favored character over productivity, but he took Aaron Fultz fishing, dammit!
