    He moved to Atlanta to spend the summer playing center field for an amateur team, risking his career with nobody watching in the stands simply because he wanted to be playing baseball outside.

He may have been "risking his career," but he was also proving to the Blue Jays how unlikely he is to succumb to the arm surgeries that every single minor league pitcher goes through as they matriculate. Long toss is the way to do it.

Anyway, I want to be his Neal Cassady.
