Adam Melhuse

There is something I find quietly compelling about career catchers like Adam Melhuse. A Santa Clara native and UCLA product, he carved out big-league time with the Dodgers, Rockies, Athletics and Rangers, the kind of cerebral player who steadies a pitching staff rather than grabbing headlines. What I appreciate most is the second act: becoming a hitting coach for Detroit's Triple-A Toledo Mud Hens, pouring his experience back into the next generation. That tells me he loves the game for its own sake. The longevity of staying in baseball, in whatever role it takes, impresses me more than any stat line.
