December 21, 200421 yr According to the Official Site, the Fish are thinking of bringing Mordi back for "one last hurrah" before season's end. That would be pretty cool, I think. With more than nine years of Major League service time, Mordecai likely will be called up by the Marlins after the minor league season ends. That way he can garner 10 years of service time, qualifying him for a better pension. "They told me to stay in shape," said Mordecai, who was acquired by the Marlins in 2002 from the Expos. "I'd like to get 10 years of service time, but I don't think it's going to kill me if I don't." Credit: MLB.com 639251[/snapback] What perks will he receive with 10 years of service?
December 21, 200421 yr Mordi was always one of the players I looked forward to seeing in a ballgame. And when he took over as catcher for Castro, the cool points went waaaaaay up. Congratulations and best of luck!
December 21, 200421 yr What a big decision by Mordy. He knows he can still play the game he loves. But, the clock is ticking. Many herein have expressed confidence in his managerial future. I wanted to accelerate his "future" by making him Jack's Bench Coach. Naive of course. Plus he was 30 years too young for Jack's taste. Mordy has been asked to "stay in shape" for a possible call-up. He can do that physically. But, "mentally" keeping in shape (not knowing if a call will come) while giving full devotion to Managing... Advantage: Marlins. But, Mordecai will succeed.

Pension can be collected at a younger age too I believe.
