My Take
I have a real soft spot for left-handed relief pitchers, and Alan Embree is a fine example. From The Dalles, Oregon, he bounced through roughly ten Major League clubs, and his role in Boston's curse-breaking 2004 run alone earns my affection. A reliever lacks a starter's glamour, but he gets handed the messiest, highest-pressure innings to put out fires. All that moving around reads to me less as instability than as proof that everyone wanted his arm. The specialist who needs to retire just one tough batter is baseball's unsung craftsman, and I am happy to remember Embree as exactly that kind of valuable role player.
