Anderson Espinoza

Anderson Espinoza is one of those arm-talent stories that makes you both excited and anxious to follow. He burst onto the radar as a teenager out of Venezuela, signed by the Red Sox and then flipped to San Diego as part of the Drew Pomeranz deal, instantly ranked among the top pitching prospects in baseball. Then Tommy John surgery — twice — essentially swallowed the better part of his early twenties, which is heartbreaking for anyone but especially for a kid who was supposed to be a rotation cornerstone. The fact that he clawed back, made it to the Cubs' big-league roster, and then carried his career to Japan with the Orix Buffaloes says something real about his resilience. I genuinely root for guys like him — the ones the injury timeline tried to erase who just keep showing up anyway.
