July 31, 200421 yr To the Royals for RHP Rudy Seanez http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/transactions/today.html
July 31, 200421 yr Marlins acquired pitcher Rudy Seanez from the Royals for outfielder Abraham Nunez. Finally, the big trade everyone has been waiting for. Seanez had a 3.91 ERA and 21 strikeouts in 23 innings since being called up. That makes him an upgrade in middle relief for the Marlins. Jul. 31 - 3:15 pm et
July 31, 200421 yr Looks like a decent trade for us to bolster the BP. He's not a starter though, so hopefully we are still looking for a #5 starter.
July 31, 200421 yr This means something. One, we dont need Nunez for insurance as a backup OFer... Two, our FO wasnt sold on our bullpen even with Mota... Three, our bullpen is very deep... Four, could we be dealing some arms from our pen for a starter? Anyway you look at this, this is a very good deal for us. We get rid of Nunez who wasnt going to play for us and we get an arm that looks good and ready to contribute. Plus, he is young. I am excited to see what Nunez does with consistent PT too...
July 31, 200421 yr Bullpen looks alright now...still the same weakness as last year, no proven lefty reliever, but Perisho will have to do. Hope Abe gets a chance to play in KC...He has alot of talent, hopefully he can put it together.
July 31, 200421 yr Wow we have really changed this team over the last 24 hours,GO BEINFEST!!!and good luck abe,penny,and choi!!!
July 31, 200421 yr Not as young a I would want him to be, but he looks solid Another nice move by Beinfest...
July 31, 200421 yr Benitez, Mota, Kotch, Seanez, Perisho. Suddenly the bullpen is a strength. 486625[/snapback] dont forget my boy manzy
July 31, 200421 yr Nice move. Nunez was a waste on our bench anyways. NOW GO AND TRY TO GET AN OUTFIELDER DAMN IT!
July 31, 200421 yr Interesting to note - Nunez was rumored to be included in that Walker deal. But recent reports have re-surfaced that the Walker deal is back on...I wonder what is going on. Something is happening.
July 31, 200421 yr was hoping got a lefty i really know nothing about this guy. time to go look at some old MLB.TV games that he pitched in
July 31, 200421 yr Fantastic addition! Benitez, Mota, Manzy, Seanez, Perisho One more from Koch, Howard and Bump If we don't get a starter maybe Bump becomes # 5. If we get a starter, two guys goto the minors.
July 31, 200421 yr even tho nunez was worthless to this team all year on the field and off i still widh him the best
July 31, 200421 yr Interesting to note - Nunez was rumored to be included in that Walker deal. But recent reports have re-surfaced that the Walker deal is back on...I wonder what is going on. Something is happening. 486643[/snapback] Maybe the marlins will ship Encarnacion Seanez and a minor leaguer for Walker
July 31, 200421 yr Yeah, it cant hurt. I wish Seanez was younger (he is 35!) but we do get more depth and what looks to be another quality arm in the pen.
July 31, 200421 yr Nunez was a good pinch runner/defensive replacement...don't know how that is a complete waste, but OK. He didnt produce like alot of you guys thought he would after spring training, but to say he didnt do ANYTHING is ridiculous. Wonder who gets the call up now..Aguila? Sutton?
