June 23, 200323 yr Lowell will tear the Red Sox appart and so could Alex he hit a monster shot in the pro imagine what he could do in Fenway.
June 23, 200323 yr I was there when Alex and Lowell hit their shots that night... That was a bomb... I was thinking Upper Deck off the bat...
June 23, 200323 yr Florida. "We've had some very encouraging signs," GM Admin Beinfest said. "We thought from the beginning that we'd go as far as our starting pitching would take us. Then we lost (A.J.) Burnett, (Josh) Beckett and (Mark) Redmond. But, fortunately, along came Dontrelle Willis, who's been a lifesaver. The rest of the rotation, including Tommy Phelps (signed as a minor-league free agent), has pitched well, and Beckett has one more rehab start. Miguel Cabrera has given us a shot in the arm; he's going to hit. But let's face it, we have to get to .500 before we start talking. We'll see where we are in another month. I'm not going to deceive anyone. We have some tough decisions to make eventually. To keep this team together would mean a tremendous jump in payroll." Other GMs have called Beinfest, but he hasn't made any calls ... yet. If they are out of it, then Mike Lowell, Derrek Lee and free agent Luis Castillo will all be available. They are eight games and six teams from the wild card, but the way they have played under Jack McKeon warrants the wait. In fact, Beinfest talked to the Padres about acquiring Rondell White. not sure if these Beinfest comments were already posted... I appreciated your assessment of the Beinfest mentality. I do, however, disagree with you that the team's recent succcess has anything to do with McKeon's Management.
June 23, 200323 yr that was written by Peter Gammons, not Shamrock McKeon was the 1st shot in the arm, Lowell's recent power surge was the next shot in the arm, DW was 2 shots in the arm, and now Cabs is a shot in the arm.... but McKeon has made this team better, by far
June 23, 200323 yr I think Gammons may have been the victim of a body snatcher. Be very careful falling asleep tonight. :unsure :
June 23, 200323 yr Mckeon started the whole thing and I'm sure every player in the marlins respects him right now because he has turned this team around.
