February 9, 200521 yr Florida Marlins Geffner turns down offer The Boston Globe reports Red Sox PR man Glenn Geffner turned down an offer to join the Florida Marlins broadcast team. Geffner, who has been a broadcaster for both Triple A Rochester and the San Diego Padres, has masterfully transformed the Sox PR operation, but his first love is still being behind the mike. Several media outlets reported Mariners pregame and postgame host Rich Waltz and Syracuse SkyChiefs voice Bob McElligott were contenders for a TV position prior to FSN Florida re-posting the opening on Call of the Game in late January. http://www.callofthegame.com/news/cogskinny.php?itemid=565
February 9, 200521 yr Alright, alright--I get the message. Tomorrow morning I'll stop by the stadium. They've been hassling me for months about the job--I didn't think they'd be this desperate. :hat

February 9, 200521 yr The guy who does voice overs for the fox show commercials, like 24, should be our new brodcaster. Imagine in that voice: Bottom of the ninth, marlins down by 1, bases loaded, full count for Carlos Delgado, the NL East crown on the line.... :mischief
February 9, 200521 yr Author I thought I heard Don Sutton was up for a job....anything happen there? 680742[/snapback] Braves/WGST signed him and he decided not to break the contract.
February 9, 200521 yr Why can't we just give Minervini the job? He isn't THAT bad. 680741[/snapback] You're right, he isn't bad... he's GOD AWFUL.

February 9, 200521 yr Geez, I wonder who were going to end up with. It would seem that all major-league type announcers would have jobs this close to the season. I guess theyre looking at minor-league announcers. I hope we find another diamond in the rough like Len or else we could be missing Len a lot more.
February 9, 200521 yr We'll all be at the stadium or listening to Dave Van Horne on our radios anyway, right?
February 9, 200521 yr We'll all be at the stadium or listening to Dave Van Horne on our radios anyway, right? 680792[/snapback] God-willing
February 9, 200521 yr i say we put minervini in there...but he is like a last-resort in a way. why not go for joe angel huh...i will do the games but i cant do them for day games or road games...i might be a sports commentator when i grow older...
February 9, 200521 yr Why can't we just give Minervini the job? He isn't THAT bad. 680741[/snapback] We should give him the job because he isn't THAT bad??
February 9, 200521 yr We'll all be at the stadium or listening to Dave Van Horne on our radios anyway, right? 680792[/snapback] Yep
February 9, 200521 yr hey, i've been looking at the internships on the marlins site for a month or two now. i always check the job opportunities section but nowhere in that section is the detailed description you just showed, where are you seeing this stuff? thanks

Anyway, there is a short description on the official site as well. It's under job opportunities--internships--media relations.

February 9, 200521 yr Minervini is not a good announcer...well he wouldn't make for one IMO. He fits his role well, and that is top sit in the crowd and BS with people. Damn you Kasper, why'd you have to leave. Now you will be compared to the likes of Pudge....
February 9, 200521 yr We'll all be at the stadium or listening to Dave Van Horne on our radios anyway, right? 680792[/snapback] God-willing 680803[/snapback] I've probably listened to dave van horne on the radio twice in my life. I always listen to Hall of Famer Felo Ramirez
February 9, 200521 yr Minervini is not a good announcer...well he wouldn't make for one IMO. He fits his role well, and that is top sit in the crowd and BS with people. 681013[/snapback] exactly. Minervini is not good at all at play by play. I am sure they will find someone. What about the Crow? just kidding, you cant understand what he is saying.
