I always considered Raph to naturally be 'lightning' and Clark "thunder' even though RP always hit in front of clark because RP was quick and quiet versus Will being loud and brash. Then again, lightning must precede thunder in nature. Makes you wonder why we say 'thunder and lightning' instead of 'lightning and thunder'?

With that said, God Bless Raph but no matter how well he plays he will NEVER suit up for a major league baseball team. I mean its remote enough to expect a MLB club to bring up a 53 year old who hasn't been on a roster in over a decade much less one that brings the amount of baggage with him as he would. No team, much less the entire league, is going to allow the PED discussion to fire up again which would be inevitable. Surely someone, even many someone's has explained that to him already.

You should be a GM.

I doubt he even even wants to play MLB again. Isn't he just playing to play with his son?

I'm sure he does want to play with his son but his stated goal in all this has been to get back to the show and he tried to get a team to let him participate in spring training earlier this year.
