| I don't know, what do
you think ??? Does
Palmer still have any
speed left in his
fast ball ??? What
about his curve ball,
too ???
And do you think he
can still do Jockey
commercials ???
Should be interesting.

| Well to tell the truth, I've only seen his great years
on film and the later part of his career I was a very
young man,but they way he sounded in his interveiw
he was very confident he can have a good affect on a
pitching staff. Does anyone know what team is he trying
too make his comeback with

93.3 | ..and does he want $2M/yr too? | KAOFS::WATTERS | | Wed Feb 06 1991 19:28 | 4 |
| The Expos say they'll look at him.
They've been lucky w/ given players a 2nd chance (Martinez, Boyd)

| Jim Palmer has officially been invited to attend the Orioles' spring
training camp as a non-roster player.
Would be a hell of a story if he does make it back, and I wish Jim
well, but I hope both Palmer and O's management have the sense to say
"enough" if it becomes clear that Palmer can't contribute.

| Paul,
How bout another update on the Palmer situation. Last I knew
he was only getting about 79mph on his fastball....
I'm not an Oriole fan, but I'm really kind of pulling for this guy....

93.6 | Palmer update, doesn't look good... | STAR::YANKOWSKAS | Paul Yankowskas | Tue Mar 12 1991 09:05 | 11 |
| A couple weeks late, but...re .5:
Palmer pitched two innings against the Red Sox yesterday; he allowed
five hits and two runs in two innings work. One Boston radio station
said that Palmer's fastball was clocked at only 80 MPH. Based on this,
and a shaky outing in an intersquad game last week, I have to doubt
that Jim will be on the O's 25-man roster come April.

93.7 | Looked OK, but served up some fat ones | SHALOT::MEDVID | wild but not lost | Tue Mar 12 1991 09:48 | 4 |
| Palmer's delivery looked really slow also. Did he always have such a
high kick or is he now trying to compensate for a lack of power?

| What happened to his reported 85mph fastball we heard about in Feb? I
read the fastest he was clocked at was 75mph, and his control was
pretty poor.

I didn't see Dewey Evans listed in the box score. Is he just gathering
dust or is he hurt again?

I thought Palmer would have had more pride. He really looked beat to
hell after the few innings he pitched. Oh, well...thanks for the
memories, Jim.
Looks like he'll be announcing in his underwear again pretty soon.
"Say, is that a microphone in your pants or are you happy to se me?"

| Well, in case some of you didn't hear, Palmer announced his
re-retirement yesterday. Seems he pulled a hamstring and has wisely
decided that he doesn't have it anymore.
