My Take
Dan Straily is the kind of pitcher I find quietly admirable. A 24th-round pick out of Western Oregon, he was never a blue-chip prospect, yet he carved out a real MLB career across the Athletics, Astros, Reds, Marlins, and Orioles before reinventing himself in Korea with the Lotte Giants. That itinerary is a map of resilience, not luck. Guys who keep getting the ball every fifth day without the hype rarely get celebrated, but they are the connective tissue of the sport. I value that durability far more than a flash of early stardom, and his name deserves remembering.
