Why would losing a pitcher who played primarily in the minor leagues, who made just 73 major league appearances, and earned a career -0.4 career WARP merit discussion of any kind? Well because that pitcher is Tim Dillard, and he is a very unique individual.
Dillard has developed quite the cult following since joining the professional ranks back in 2002, especially with Brewers fans. He obviously cultivated that following via social media, where he has produced podcasts and YouTube videos with friends, one of which includes the Chicago Cubs’ Ben Zobrist. Periodically he writes for MLB Trade Rumors in what he calls Inner Monologue of @DimTillard.
