April 12, 200422 yr Armando would take a price cut because Miami is a good place for him. No one will pay him because all the teams that could afford him are in high pressure situations and all the low pressure teams can't pay him. You don't think he's pitching in a high pressure situation right now? Underappreciated World Champions who can't score runs defiantly trying to repeat in the face of a media that picks them as runnersup? I think in it's own way this is as high pressure situation as it comes. There's no depth in the bullpen, they desperately need another Chad Fox so Fox can close some nights and rest AB. The guy is carrying the team on his shoulders like I haven't seen since Bryan Harvey in '93. Five wins, five saves. IF AB turns in the year he's capable of, he'll be able to write his ticket anywhere. We might have some economic influence but it's minimal (above the lack of state taxes), someone offers him $500k per year more and he's gone.
April 12, 200422 yr Someone who hasn't been mentioned is the D-Train, who had an awesome start. If he's throwing strikes, he'll be as good as the first half of 2003 all season.
April 12, 200422 yr Just like any other position. If Benitez has a great year, he gets a nice raise or he's gone.

He makes good money and if he revives his career here, he will stay if we give him an adequate raise.

April 12, 200422 yr We were just lucky those Phillies weren't hitting - at least that's what BBTN says. It's the Phillies aren't acheiving not that the Marlins are. Grrrrrrr. You would never know we just swept them with our fourth and fifth starters and Beckett. If you listen to BBTN Beckett must of pitched all three games. Did you know... The two worst hitting teams this past week were the Expos and Phillies. I wonder why.
