Depression? edit

The article states that Lilly is rumoured to have a very dominant form of clinical depression. Does anyone have a source for this? If not, it should be deleted.-66.254.235.231 19:31, 23 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

I don't think wikipedia should be publishing rumors. I'm deleting it.
Agreed - thanks

Tense shift for pitching style? edit

Lilly is a finesse pitcher, as he lacks elite velocity with his pitches but relies on above-average control and movement, as well as the ability to throw a variety of pitches. He throws two fastballs—a four-seamer and a two-seamer in the 86-90 mph range—and two breaking balls, a slider and a big, slow curveball. He also features a changeup. He uses the slider more against left-handed batters and his other off-speed pitches more against right-handed batters. His pitching motion uses a straight-over-the-top delivery.[28][29]

In the pitching style section, Lilly is referred to in the present tense. Is that appropriate? He's no longer an active pitcher, and the citations were written when he was. I suggest making this section past tense. Gprobins (talk) 19:56, 23 July 2018 (UTC)Reply
