July 17, 200322 yr Albuquerque Tribune: Pitcher Allen Levrault appeared to change his mind and will come to Albuquerque. The roster addition is expected to become official today, Treanor said. When the Marlins traded for Urgueth Urbina, they outrighted Levrault to Albuquerque to clear roster space. That means he had 72 hours to accept or reject the decision. He rejected it and became a free agent. But on Wednesday, Treanor said Levrault had signed a minor league contract with Florida after all. He began the season with the Isotopes but received a promotion to Florida on April 25.
July 17, 200322 yr Did someone finally talk some sense into him and explain that it was either sign the contract or go study the finer culinary points of making drive-thru cuisine?
July 17, 200322 yr couldnt the marlins have outrighted somebody else other than levrault to AAA? Levrault was good... send back Bump or someone..
July 17, 200322 yr Levrault was ready to implode...he had a tremendous amount of luck...check out his WHIP...
July 17, 200322 yr Levrault was ready to implode...he had a tremendous amount of luck...check out his WHIP... Levrault (who I like) has no trade value as witnessed by the fact he couldn't catch on anywhere else after being outrighted. Bump on the otherhand has some trade value and you can expect to see him showcased between now and July 31st as he'd be a guy the Marlins could package to bring in a player to help out for the rest of the year.
