Comment on Jorge Cantu, Mike Jacobs Homer In Marlins Win by Nigel Wilson

Excellent recap. It will be interesting how Jorge Cantu plugs the hole at 3B (and whether he can play defense well there, too).

Where would these guys rank in Marlins history? Here’s a great piece on the Marlins Dream Time of best franchise players:

Bowyer is currently, to quote Samuel Jackson, a “known-unknown”. The Marlins originally had him penciled in as their closer, but with the solid performance of Kevin Gregg, he may become a set-up man, or possibly not even a part of the team just yet.

How is Travis Bowyer looking this season? Is he ready to pitch?

Although I believe the Tigers got the better end of the trade, I’m not happy to see a talent like Maybin leave after showing such promise. But as long as he stays in the National League I’ll root for him to continue his rapid rise to the top.

I would love to see the Marlins play, however, circumstances are keeping stuck here in the cold north, so I’ll have to just watch them on the web.

As far as the staff being fresh, it’s more of a “don’t wear out the bullpen so they get hurt” kind of thing. I’ve seen it happen time and time again (See: 2006 Yankees), and if the young guns for the Marlins don’t take some pressure off the ‘pen, it could be a very messy situation.

Thanks for the feedback!

I honestly don’t believe that the pitching staff would remain “fresh.” You have alot of new blood being presented. Well, written Mr. Carlen, excellent questions to be asking…I’ll answer them at the end of the season. One question to you, would it not be a great idea…to see the Marlin’s play, get out of the cold?
