Tiffany's Baseball-Reference.com profile shows 2011 as the last year he was active and he was in an independent league then. I believe he's currently the lead pitching instructor for Frozen Ropes Training Centers at their location in Glendora, CA. It's a shame, he couldn't make it with the Dodgers. He's still only 30 years old.Neddy wrote:[tweet]https://twitter.com/npbtracker/status/673195467056934912[/tweet]
you may have posted this in the past already, knowing how active you are in twitter-verse...or did I say that correctly? lol obviously I don't have a twitter account and never used my office's facebook under my name. this forum is about the only SNS I ever use, if this even counts as one, that is.
Ha ha. No, I didn't come across that tweet, so thank you for passing that along. As active as I am in the Twitter-verse, I'm still no expert. I just use it as another resource just like surfing the Web to try to obtain some information and even then, I can't always find what I need or want.
I did, however, come across another Maeda highlight video from the comments section of a Dodgers fan site, which showcases his impressive control and command of the variety of pitches he has in his repertoire.

good to know Chuck landed on his feet. I did read his baseball reference stats and it ended with Hawaii's independent league, I wasn't sure what has happened since I do not recall seeing him pop up in Japan or Korea like Matt Murton or Julio Franco.
and sounds like you are now on board with Kenta Maeda? I still think the kid is underrated. I still think Ryu will be our #2 guy when the regular season is over, and Kenta might be the #3 although I I would expect Kazmir to be just a hair behind Ryu in most stat lines.
Anderson could look like 2015 version of Greinke if his BABIP is around .220 as he is the best groundball pitcher in all of baseball.
god I am already pumped up for this season... can't wait!
