Oil Can Boyd: I can still pitch!

Oil Can is 49 and he thinks he's better than 70% of the pitchers in the league.
Who knows ... he may be better than Penny or Smoltz.

Pawtucket Times - Oil Can Boyd: I can still pitch!

And while the man known by all as “Oil Can” looks like he can still pitch at Fenway Park, he believes that he can still compete in the major leagues, and at a high level, and he made those feelings known before Thursday night’s game at McCoy Stadium.

“Right now, I’d have to say that I’m 70 percent as good as anyone throwing a baseball anywhere, right now, today,” said Boyd, who currently resides in East Providence. “I can go out and do what I once did, and possibly do even better, there’s no question.”

.................

But the itch to pitch is there, and Boyd was quick to note that he would love nothing more that to show off his arm to any big league teams who would be willing to spend a few minutes to watch him deliver his stuff.

“I don’t like walking around with dynamite stuck to my shoulder and I can’t use it,” said Boyd. “No one throws the baseball nowhere better than I can. If someone right now gave me an opportunity to go back to the minor leagues and see what I could do, I would take that up and I’m sure I would open up some eyes. I know what I can do, and as soon as someone sees me do that, they’ll know that I’m not lying about it.”
