Dotel and Ortiz

Only two articles today, both about MLB pitchers making comebacks. The first is about Octavio Dotel and his new beginning with Royals after Tommy John surgery. Here's a quote from him:

“It has been the most amazing feeling,” he says. “I feel like I’m reborn. I feel like I’ve got a brand-new arm. I think I’m throwing harder than I did before. And it feels so easy. I just thank God, because I never thought I would feel like this again. I’m ready to help the Kansas City Royals win some games now. You can tell all the fans in Kansas City that I can’t wait to get there. I’m so thankful to this organization. They’re going to be happy they gave me this chance.”

The next article is about Russ Ortiz, a Christian, making the Giants as their fifth starter: http://sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/chronicle/archive/2007/03/29/GIANTS.TMP.

Lastly, Tigers pitcher Nate Robertson has added a new post to his blog, one about the beginning of the season: http://naterobertson.mlblogs.com/.
