March 31, 200521 yr Author :lol good point. Btw, Teal Shadow and me were thinking different things. I understand what you were asking now. Sorry bout that.
March 31, 200521 yr It frees up a 40-man roster spot for Lenny Harris 724734[/snapback] haha, sad but true.
March 31, 200521 yr His release was due some time ago. Glad to see they finally realized this. As far as I'm concerned, we gave him plenty of chances to do well, and he never took advantage of a single one.

March 31, 200521 yr Author what's with everyones love affair with justin wayne. sure he was jewish and from hawaii but...who really cares? he stunk as a marlin 725011[/snapback] There isn't a love affair here, far from it. People wishing him best of luck are just being nice. Fact is and you can check back old posts to see this very few people supported him (me being one) through it all. Yeah, he didn't put the numbers up but I was a fan of his and always believed he had the talent to do well (which he does have) Hopefully he shows that talent on his new team and does well except when he plays the fish.

He never pitched with glasses. You are thinking of someone else.
April 3, 200521 yr Justin Wayne went to spring training on the Florida Marlins' 40-man roster, was sent outright to Albuquerque of the Triple-A Pacific Coast League on March 16, then was released Wednesday. "When they took me off the 40-man roster and outrighted me that kind of gave me a hint that I was not in their plans," said Wayne from his Florida home. The right-hander appeared in 26 games with eight starts in parts of three seasons with the Marlins. He had a 5-8 record with a 6.13 earned-run average. This spring he pitched just one inning in two games for Florida. He gave up two hits, walked four and had an 18.00 ERA. "Spring wasn't so good. I put too much pressure on myself. It took my mind away from the objective I was trying to accomplish," said Wayne, who admitted this is a tough time of the season to hook up with another team. Wayne was the first-round pick (fifth overall) of the Montreal Expos in the 2000 First-Year Player Draft following an outstanding career at Stanford. He was part of a seven-player trade that sent him to the Marlins July 11, 2002. The Punahou graduate made his major league debut Sept. 9, 2002 against the New York Mets at Shea Stadium. Wayne gave up seven hits and five runs in four innings and took the loss. He finished the season with a 2-3 record and a 5.32 ERA. Last year Wayne was 3-3 with a 5.79 ERA in 19 games, primarily as a reliever, for the Marlins. He was on the disabled list in July with tendinitis in his right shoulder and spent most of the remainder of the season at Albuquerque (1-5, 6.58). http://starbulletin.com/2005/04/03/sports/story10.html
April 3, 200521 yr what's with everyones love affair with justin wayne. sure he was jewish and from hawaii but...who really cares? he stunk as a marlin 725011[/snapback] A 5th overall pick and a big reason why we traded Floyd along with Pavano... Its hard not to have a love affair with a guy that highly touted, I dont think him being jewish and Hawaiian had anything to do with it...
April 3, 200521 yr I dont think him being jewish and Hawaiian had anything to do with it... 727701[/snapback] You thought wrong :thumbup . I think Admin and I are the only ones who like him because he's Jewish though.
