Two of my favourites have birthdays today. Dustin McGowan turns 42 today. Dustin was a first-round pick back in 2000, 33rd overall. Although not the Blue Jays’ first first-round pick, we had the number 18 pick that year, and we chose Miguel Negron, an outfielder who never made the majors, having a career line of .263/.326/.358 in 1019 minor league games. Dustin was a supplemental pick for the loss of free agent Graeme Lloyd.
After the season, the Jays declined his $4 million option, an understandable decision, and left as a free agent. He bounced around, Dodgers, Phillies, Marlins, Rays, and Marlins again. He’d pitched in 132 games, from 2015 to 2017, with a 4.29 ERA. In 168 innings, he allowed 80 walks and had 148 strikeouts. Dustin pitched in 10 seasons and had a 4.50 ERA in 290 games, 69 starts. He’s among the hundreds of pitchers for whom we wonder, ‘What if?’. Happy Birthday, Dustin. I hope it is a good one.
