July 9, 200323 yr This really is a tough blow for the fish. This guys were really improving with every game. Marlins low Class A righthander Yorman Bazardo injured his shoulder in his last start for Greensboro. He came out after four innings on Monday. The 18-year-old Venezuelan is 5-5, 3.28 and has been clocked as high as 95 mph this season. Bazardo joins fellow smoke throwing righty Ronald Belisario, who posted a 5-1, 3.00 mark for Greensboro, in the ailing shoulder department. Belisario made one start for high Class A Jupiter before going on the shelf with a sore shoulder. Early reports suggest Bazardo's injury is more serious than Belisario's. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/minors/dish.html *side note: If this guy comes back to form that Reds/ Marlins deal might be back on. :confused After suffering through a miserable 2002 season, marred with injuries, Ty Howington started this season a level lower than where he ended the last. His velocity was down in the mid-80s and he was getting tattooed by Carolina League opponents for a .300-plus average over the first two months of this season. Howington, 22, has recouped the speed and life on his fastball, now reaching the low-90s again. He improved to 6-6, 3.61 by tossing four-hit ball over eight innings on Monday. In his last five starts, the southpaw is 3-1, 0.84 with 23 hits allowed and 39 strikeouts in 32 innings. He is expected to make about two more starts for Class A Potomac before returning to Double-A Chattanooga, where he's combined to go 2-8, 4.42 over parts of the last two seasons One more thing Nic Ungs was named MVP of Florida State League(pitcher)

July 9, 200323 yr Author "IF" the Marlins fall out of the race. The reds would be a "STRONG" trade partner."IF" this guy comes back..
July 9, 200323 yr Our offense is good...just hitting some speed bumps with some very good pitching lately from the other teams...and it doesnt get any easier in Montreal.
July 9, 200323 yr "IF" the Marlins fall out of the race. The reds would be a "STRONG" trade partner."IF" this guy comes back.. What would be a potential package for Penny/Luis?
July 9, 200323 yr Ive also been thinking about Castillo's power numbers...if he hit from the right side every time he might have 10 homers right now. Only reason he wouldnt be worth resigning is his power issue. Now that he seems to be developing it...what should we do? Its not like we have anything in the minors worth a crap @2B anyway.
July 9, 200323 yr id like to keep 3/4 of our IF intact(meaning DLee can go).... i really dont want to see Hooper up next year or ever
