YEAHHHHH!!!! show him some love, Z. 8)

Larry, get yo arse out there.

He should've worked on his defense too. he probably was...at 1B.

nice K. there we go.

come on blue. this is ridiculous.

hairston would have had that. :wink:

Let's dominate, Sr. Zambrano.

who's your mother farker!?! 8)

i love you dunn!

nice speed Walker! :lol:

wait, if you have 4 guys in the rotation go 200 IP each, your team is assured of a .500+ record?

Haha. Careful. They'll throw you in a dirt cell in GitMo. But that's another thread... :-({|=

Good job, Bush.

Bruce already released it. Pierre Walker Lee Aram Jockstrap Barrett Murton Cedeno Big Z Why in God's name is Z batting 9th? :evil: Dusty doesn't want Cedeno to cry.

remember to use a clean needle.

That's why it's so great to be a guy. You can get stuff like that done in 15 minutes. I don't know about that. Most dudes take longer than 15 minutes nowadays. Primping and preening in front of the mirror I guess. :roll:

I'm going to take issue with this statement, although I do believe there is some credence to it. It comes down to a matter of preference. In essence, it boils down to this: Would you rather have a large pool of pitchers who are all fairly talented, but are likely to end up as middle of the rotation guys, or would you have a significantly smaller number of elite pitching prospects who could end up as front of the rotation guys? In the best of all worlds, your farm system would be a combination of the two...but that rarely happens. The Marlins' system appears to be more on the side of things with a large pool of potential middle/back end of the rotation guys (although I like Volstad's and Olsen's respective potential). We have all seen a number of future aces not live up to their potential, be it because of injuries or otherwise. Yes, some guys can live up to the hype, but it's just so rare when you look at how many prospects are out there. At least with that larger pool, there is a greater chance that some guys will be able to step up and contribute at the major league level. Occasionally, guys can seemingly come out of nowhere and do an incredible job (Dontrelle Willis is a good example of this). It gives a team more options and flexibility. Heck, if the Marlins weren't so bleeping cheap, they would have undeniably great ammo to use at the trade deadline if they were still in the hunt. They could easily assemble a tempting package for almost any player with the pitching they have. With the market the way it is, if you don't develop your own ace and front of the rotation guys, you're not going to pick one up in FA for a reasonable price. If you get one via trade, it will be shortly before he hits FA and signing him to an extension in this market is dicey.

Isn't the rookie catcher they are going to have suppose to be a stud?? his D is very below average. he should be very good offensively, but he has lots of troubles throwing out runners and has had knee issues in the past. he'd be a DH in the AL.

hahaha, Buerhle just got rocked for 3 runs in an inning. 1 double high of the RF wall and a 3 run blast to left. put it on the boooaaard, YES!!!

Dye is taking a page out of the Matt Murton school of hitting - 2 crap singles and an RBI. :lol:

I think the 75+ IP he had last year at the major league level with a .219 BAA and 10.6 K/9 matters more than the 8+ IP he has in spring training this year. Spoken like Dusty Baker himself, haha. 8) Just kidding man. Seriously though---I don't view Wuertz as established enough to survive on reputation. To me he's a borderline major leaguer. I'd like to go with the hot hand when it comes to those guys. At the end of the day, I hope Wuertz tears it up and proves me totally wrong. I don't know. Wuertz is pretty filthy. Guys have a very tough time getting contact when they do swing. His numbers last season were no fluke.

Yeah, he threw a fastball with nothing on it before he left. Tried a couple of warm up throws that looked horrible... :(

Sabathia is done for the game. Looks like he's hurt. :(

Who's Buerhle?

What else do the Cards have to offer beyond Reyes? They're farm system is even more shallow than ours is. I'd have to think that the Marlins preference would be to send Miguel to an AL team if packages are equal. That being said, if they Cards (or any other team) offers the farm for him, all bets are off. The Marlins already have a better pitching prospects than Reyes in Anibal Sanchez and Olsen. I doubt Reyes is that tempting, much less the other arms St. Louis has. There's no fear of St. Louis getting Cabrera. A stud catching prospect, 2B, and 3B is more likely what their looking for.
