My Take

Jalen Beeks is the survivor type of pitcher I find easy to root for. A 12th-round pick out of Arkansas who debuted with Boston and then bounced through the Rays, Rockies, Pirates, Diamondbacks, and Rangers, he's lived the journeyman reliever's life of constant proving. That's not a knock. Sticking in the majors across that many uniforms takes grit most fans never appreciate. I have a soft spot for arms who keep getting picked up because they're useful, not glamorous. Beeks feels like a clubhouse guy other players quietly value. Solid, dependable, and far tougher than the draft slot suggested.

Overview
