August 4, 200421 yr I dont know if this was posted but it sure is interesting: Fox has already lost three months. Right elbow inflammation sent him to the disabled list and Fox has yet to resume a throwing program. "There are a lot of positives," Fox said. "The tingling and the numbness, all those things have subsided. I haven't done anything to test it." Fox said the next step is to contact orthopedic surgeon James Andrews and seek clearance to begin throwing. He would like to rehab aggressively and salvage as much of the final two months as possible. "I miss it bad," said Fox, who has spent the last few months at home in Texas. "It's getting harder and harder as the season gets later." http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/sfl-mar...ports-headlines Sounds like Fox is zeroing in on returning this year. Imagine if we have Spooneybarger and Fox come back for the last month of the season. We would go from having a good bullpen to a great bullpen.
August 4, 200421 yr We won without a bullpen last year. 493975[/snapback] It's a nice luxury though, wouldn't you say
August 4, 200421 yr I'm not expecting much from The Yellow Dart. With all he did last year, it won't matter. Anything he adds is a plus.
August 4, 200421 yr We are paying him $1.2M and it would be nice to get more than 10 innings out of him. Although it won't the first time we've had a millionaire on the DL.
August 4, 200421 yr I still think his career is done 494184[/snapback] One would be a fool to bet against that notion :thumbup If he were able to pitch before the end of the season, and we were still in contention, it would a pleasant surprise, but certainly nothing to count on.
August 4, 200421 yr Sure, his career is over, but he'd obviously like to go out of baseball helping a team reach the post-season.
August 4, 200421 yr We won without a bullpen last year. 493975[/snapback] Loop Urbina and Fox in same pen, pretty solid
August 4, 200421 yr We won without a bullpen last year. 493975[/snapback] :lol Only reason the Marlins started winning down the stretch because of the additions of Fox and Urbina to the bullpen. Fox Looper Urbina
August 4, 200421 yr we need hitting...dont care about the pitching 494785[/snapback] Gave up 5 last night, with better relief we maybe win
August 4, 200421 yr Urbina, Fox and Looper got us out of a lot jams late in the season and during the playoffs. Se we did need our bullpen.
August 4, 200421 yr We won without a bullpen last year. 493975[/snapback] :lol Only reason the Marlins started winning down the stretch because of the additions of Fox and Urbina to the bullpen. Fox Looper Urbina 494841[/snapback] That was for two months. 32-22 with them. And I'm sure I'm going to catch sh*t for this because supposedly everyone batted 1.000 last year and no pitcher ever gave up a lead, but Looper and Urbina was shaky as hell down the stretch. And that's not even going into what those three did in the postseason. Ask Josh Beckett and the rest of the starters what the bullpen did to win in October.
August 4, 200421 yr I remember Urbina being pretty stable down the stretch, he was shaky in the post-season though. Looper was stable as well up until the final weeks of the season.

August 4, 200421 yr Looper was blowing games in July posting a 4+ ERA. It only seems like it happened later because McKeon stuck with him in the closer role until later in the year.
August 4, 200421 yr Where can I get monthly breakdowns of pitchers stats? 494919[/snapback] Espn go to stats then splits
