Dwyer Gone

Its official. Chris Dwyer, unfortunately not GT's Jonathan Dwyer (wouldn't that be a pleasant headline with the looming Thursday night game?) (yes, its close enough to say "looming", because, well...hurry up and start already football season).

This stings a bit for next year's baseball squad, I was hoping Dwyer would be back. Although his numbers weren't spectacular (a lot of people are going to be thrown by that 4.92 ERA), as far as potential goes he was probably the best pitcher on the staff. Performance-wise, his numbers aren't too difficult to replace, but replacing that kind of upside will be difficult for 2010. I had really hoped the Royals (of all teams, particularly) wouldn't be willing to shell out the money and he'd back in a Tiger uniform. Best of luck to Dwyer, though, and congratulations on landing the biggest signing bonus for a fourth round player in MLB draft history.
