José Veras

I have a soft spot for players like José Veras. A Dominican relief pitcher signed in 1998, he debuted with the Yankees in 2006 and then bounced through eight different big-league clubs. That itinerant path is not glamorous, but it is its own kind of achievement: every stop meant proving himself again to a new manager and clubhouse. Relievers rarely get glory, yet the job demands ice-cold nerves in the tightest moments. To me, lasting that long across so many teams says everything about both his arm and his resilience. I respect the grind of the journeyman bullpen craftsman.
