July 9, 200323 yr this has been discussed indirectly in a lot of different threads, so i thought i'd make a poll out of it. as usual, let me know what you think and tell me why
July 9, 200323 yr AS much as I hate D. Lee and want desperately for him to go bye-bye a 'la Cliffy, We need a veteran arm in the pen. We need someone who has seen a pennant race close up from a bullpen folding chair who can add some poise.
July 9, 200323 yr Set Up MAN clearly is what we need..... but im not willing to get Benitez or Uggey until Nate Bump shows me why he doesnt deserve this job.... i dunno bout you guys but BUMP has showed me he is worthy of the role and the challange.. 4 games left be4 the ALl star break i say wait, and be calm and if Nate Bump isnt the Answer after 7-10 games than go after the arm we need...
July 9, 200323 yr I'd say none of those...A power lefty STARTER...and a POWER right hander...could be a closer or setup man...either will do...Benitez will solidfy our pen.

It wont last though...the balls were hit hard against him, but just to the right people...nothing against him.
July 9, 200323 yr i dunno... thats why i wanna wiat and find out... not like UGGEY and Benitez are wantted that bad...... only person that wants ethier those 2 guys is the Dead SOX and they got KIM now.. the Dead Sox need to be going after Ponson..... not a closer...
July 9, 200323 yr we DO NOT need a new closer, set up man is most important now... benitez....we also need a left handed STARTER, either at 1st or Left field...Dee Lee seems to be into his second half prowress right now, lets keep him, bring in starting left fielder...hopefully left handed, but if hes good, then right handed is fine.......i love cabs, and i know he has won us games, he is just not terribly consistent right now, which is why i think he should be our first pinch hitter off the bench.......that would be clutch, when we have man on 2nd two outs and the pitcher is up in th 6th or 7th, instead of bringing in banks or worthless.......bring in cabs baby!!.......this scenario would mean someone on bench would have to go....in that case send worthelss away for anything you can get

The same way your wife says "No Fishiepoo, you can't get a new Escalade and that Cigarette you saw at the boat show too", the Marlins have to make choices. If the Orioles are willing to pay portions of Conine's salary in 2003 AND 2004, that frees up an enormous amount of money to use this year and next to get the "veteran arms" we need. It's not like Conine would be an embarrassment at first and he has the obvious leadership skills we need in a pennant race. Sort of reminds me of bringing in Darren Dalton in '97. See, great minds do think alike. :w00t :w00t
