    Jonny Venters

    Dammit all. Dammit dammit dammit. I feel so bad for him. I always cringed at the 'Everyday Jonny' moniker given him. And here we are.

    One of my favorite relief pitchers of all time.

    Probably the best sinker I've ever seen. He was nasty when healthy.

    First sinker I've ever seen in my lifetime that made guys swing and miss. Usually sinkers are known for getting ground balls but this one made people swing and miss.
    Forever Fredi

    On my phone. But I hope he made some money over his time. He needs to recover and live a normal life now. Good luck mr venters.

    Was simply overpowering. He should retire before this is his fate.

    I feel bad for players like Venters, Jurrjens and Medlen that they never got the big pay day. Someone like Hanson I don't feel bad for because he could have signed a lucrative contract extension after his first year or two and got atleast 30 or 40 million in guaranteed money.

    Don't need to cry for Medlen. He's working on the second year of a two-year, $8.5 M deal and has a World Series ring in the process. But it is hotter than hell in Omaha this time of year.

    Venters was one of the best relievers I've ever seen pitch, it's too bad Fredi and co. broke him with crazy overuse.

    I got to know him really well when I worked with Gwinnett. Great guy. Feel terrible for him.

    Yea he was overused by Cox, but Fredi took it to another level and completely broke him. He kept throwing him out there when he was clearly not looking healthy too. Then he'd say but Jonny says he's okay, lol.
