Shoot. My phone autocorrected. Could a mod please change that?

Good luck to Breslow whether he gets another shot to pitch, or starts doing something else. He was certainly praised by this FO for his mentoring, so maybe he's a future pitching coach.

I said this in the Breslow DFA thread, but I wonder if he'll go to med school? He mentioned that once as a possibility post-baseball, but think he meant that if his career ended sooner than it did.

There was an article in the City Pages a couple weeks ago about Breslow and it sounded like he might be interested in remaining in baseball in some capacity other than as a player.

Agree.

IMO as the Twins continue to build their front office and coaching staffs they can use all the smart up to date baseball people they can get.

Yep. I definitely would not be opposed to seeing him return in a coaching/front office/scouting capacity.

I've read that med school was his career plan as an undergraduate. But with each intervening year away from academics it gets more difficult to jump back in, especially something as demanding as med school. At age 36 it's certainly do-able but he'd have to totally want to do it.

[Craig Arko]

He'd be highly motivated to resume a medical career.

He can afford to go back to school and pursue those dreams, although he also would be a nice on-field presence as a coach, I believe.

 

[Mr. Brooks]

Med school would be a crazy grind for a guy his age.

Props to him if he still has the stamina and focus at his age.
