Posted April 25, 200519 yr comment_481960 Off-day musing... 12/26 you discover you have an expensive gift that you don't seem to need. Do you return it? Put it in the closet? Save it in case next year isn't as good? Marlins have Conine that they can't use right now and some blossoming minor leaguers chomping on the bit. Jack says Niner is coping well mentally with his Bench duty. But, this is a veteran warrior who responds best to daily playing. IMO, Niner will be hard-pressed to produce off-the-bench. So far, he is still a defensive asset... but I wonder what the lack of playing may do to his defensive prowess. That said, there is no room for significant playing time for him. And none on the near horizon. But, what if one of the other "gifts" breaks? (e.g. Cabs, Enc, Carlos, Mikey, etc.) Best we not now go to the gift exchange department. Count our FO blessings. It's a long season. Link to comment https://www.marlinsbaseball.com/topic/27867-day-after-christmas/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

April 25, 200519 yr comment_481963 If the bullpen has shown us anything, it's that depth is critical for a team that expects to compete. Conine's ability to play three positions capably makes him a very important piece for the bench...

April 25, 200519 yr comment_481966 I'm disappointed in Conine's lack of production so far, but I'm still rooting for him- it can't be easy going from an everyday player for YEARS to a pinch-hitter and spot-starter.
