the Germans decided to I walked around where I would go and chose No. 0. Although some at the time wondered if it was a reference to something specific, Germán explained that it was the last vowel of his name, which he saw as a new beginning. He did not seek any compensation from Rodon, saying only that he hoped it would help the left-hander feel comfortable with his new team.

“In the short term, you want it to have the same effect as David Wells,” Cohen said. The moment he plays the perfect game, it seems to validate him and his place on the roster, his place in the rotation. Since then, he’s been the best pitcher in the American League 1998. You hope that the confidence Domingo has gained in this fight will keep him going and make him really believe in himself. ”
