Former Jays pitcher threatened to kill Dirk Hayhurst

When Dirk Hayhurst first told his teammates in the Padres minor-league system he was writing a book about his experiences in baseball, he got the silent treatment, conversations stopping as he walked into rooms.
When he signed with the Blue Jays in 2009, and the book was being completed, the reaction became louder. One former Jays pitcher threatened to kill Hayhurst if he were mentioned in the book, and another still with the team pulled him aside and cautioned him to "be careful" what he wrote. Friends would make snide remarks that certain things were "off the record." One told him he needed to hold a news conference to apologize to his team.
"There's always going to be some people that are wary of me," said Hayhurst, a 30-year-old right-hander who spins sentences — based on the best-selling success of the The Bullpen Gospels — better than baseballs, given just 25 big-league appearances in a 10-year pro career (and an ERA of 5.72).

Can't have been Matt Bush. Matt Bush doesn't threaten to kill you; he skips straight to the trying to kill you phase.

It would have to be the most innocent "good guy" you can think of. Someone who doesn't want his crap getting out.

BJ Ryan and AJ Burnett sound like the types.
