Jameson Taillon

What draws me to Jameson Taillon isn't the glittering label of being the second overall pick in 2010, but everything he has endured since. Bouncing from the Pirates to the Yankees to the Cubs, weathering arm trouble along the way, he embodies the quiet grind that rarely makes highlight reels. I have a soft spot for highly drafted arms who refuse to be crushed by expectation and simply keep taking the ball. Longevity, for a pitcher carrying that much early hype, is its own kind of triumph, and I respect him for it.
