Memories of Wilmer Font

[G-Fafif]

Traded to the Jays for C. Considerations.



June Schaefer Reliever of the Month. Sic transit soak up innings.

So basically we sold our prospects.

We gave up a prospect to get Font.

The Jays saw the Schaefer Award press release and moved fast.

I liked watching him pitch; had a distinct over-the-top delivery. Gave us a couple very promising outings, a few shit ones too, but we gave up on him pretty fast. I realize the option thing meant he was one of the most likely to pass though, there are a couple like him every year.



Pretty sure he threw at Rhys Hoskins' face.

A reliable source of Times New Roman jokes. Otherwise, eh. We can finish fourth without him.

Yes, this. He pitched in the game I saw at Wrigley and it felt like it was even more over-the-top than it looked on TV.

D'ya like my dinged corners?

Little known fact there Normie that Wilmer's great uncle, Allen, was a big

time television personality best known for the show Candid Camera.

Wilmer's been such an enormous font for so much clever wordplay. /rollseyes

It's been fontastic knowing him.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Oh, you also know Font? I know Font from way back when. Last time I saw him, he gave me some tasty high end Fontina cheese as a gift with a very fancy font label. Fancy fonts for fancy cheeses. But no dinged corners on that piece of cheese.

Font has been up and down since 2012, and the thing is, though he's never really gotten traction in a big league career that has added up to 96 innings over parts of seven seasons, he's absolutely killed it in AAA. And I think if he can find a goin'-nowhere team to plug him into a rotation and allow him to take his lumps, he'll probably figure it out along the way an be a decent big league pitcher. We certainly saw him have some good spurts with the Mets.
