Posted April 22, 200420 yr comment_196353 This is Oliver's new ERA. He still sucks. He is a lucky POS to get that kind of run support. Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/11514-589/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 22, 200420 yr comment_196359 So, you think we should trade him for Myers? He's 2-1. If he keeps that up, its fine with me. Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/11514-589/?&do=findComment&comment=196359 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 22, 200420 yr comment_196360 He'll adjust, he's just having a bad start. Give him time. no he wont but people need to understand that he is just a stopgap till Allen James is ready exactly. and a plus is that he swings the bat well.

April 22, 200420 yr comment_196361 I dont think his era will be over 5. It was barely over 5 in colorado. (5.04) Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/11514-589/?&do=findComment&comment=196361 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 22, 200420 yr comment_196362 he had a 5.04 ERA last year pitching in colorado, i gotta belive when all is said and done his ERA will be under 5 for this season. as long as the match ups work out to where we are facing the other team's 5th starter most of the time i think it'll be ok.

April 22, 200420 yr comment_196363 That's pretty mean to say that he sucks. I don't think he sucks at all and I still think that he will improve. I'd like to c u get up there and pitch!

April 22, 200420 yr comment_196366 As long as our bats are hot when hes on the mound I will be fine. But everytime he struggles like he did today, the wait for A.J. becomes even longer, cant wait to see him back on that mound.

April 22, 200420 yr comment_196369 and furthermore...... how oliver warrants 750K in salary is beyond me. he's a vet you can't give him much less than that. Look he's our temporary 5 starter, you can't expect too much. Who would you have do the job had we not signed him?

April 22, 200420 yr comment_196370 Who would you have do the job had we not signed him? I know I would have had Michael Tejera be the 5th starter. However, even Justin Wayne would have worked in this role. The Marlins originally wanted him to be a starter anyway.

It would be nice for Oliver's ERA to be in the 4s but he is the scrub of our staff and is just holding it down until AJ is back. He isn't awful, but he is a decent major leaguer and isn't doing awful.

April 22, 200420 yr comment_196373 Tejera? :blink: Yes, he was a starter throughout his minor leauge career. He even won the Best Pitcher Award for the Eastern League in 1999. I think he's more suited for starting than in the bullpen. Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/11514-589/?&do=findComment&comment=196373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 22, 200420 yr comment_196374 Everytime he was called into a game last season you had to hold your breath. The kid is good, but I'd rather have a veteran lefty.

April 22, 200420 yr Author comment_196375 i would of rather signed some veteran to a minor league contract and let people fight it out for that fifth job. Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/11514-589/?&do=findComment&comment=196375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 22, 200420 yr comment_196377 Like Ramps been trying to stress, it's not like we really WANT him to be our starter...we just need someone to fill in until AJ comes back. We all have realized he's not exactly the best pitcher out there but fortunately, our offense has been able to make up for the runs he gives up.
