Doug Mirabelli is just as cocky in person as he sounds in the papers. Talking about himself as he ran off to the batting cages: “Looking real fit. I fear for the American League this season!” Thank you very much Stud Who Hits into Double Plays.

I’ve never met Doug in person, but from what I’ve read about him, I suspect he was being sarcastic. In the interviews I’ve read, he never seemed to have any illusions about his abilities. Curt Shilling had nothing but praise for him, both before and after he was released.

I for one am going to miss him.
