July 7, 200521 yr Link from his debut Some people were so quick to jump down the guy's throat and not let him show what he's got.

He appears to be the real deal. Makes Beinfest's job alot easier in the next three weeks if he keeps this up.
July 7, 200521 yr Great outing...if Santos and Resop can continue to perform well that definitely takes out the need to go out and get someone trade deadline, not to mention a healthy AA back in August would be the equivalent of a trade anyways. Loved the way he walked off the mound after the K in the 8th...kid has some confidence it seems

July 7, 200521 yr Resop showed alot of improvement from his debut. 4 K's and only 1 hit.. We might not see him for a couple of days, but he I think he'll get more chances to pitch.
July 7, 200521 yr Wow...VDLS, Resop, Mota, Mecir & Jones...the pen is really starting to shape up. Adding AA and another arm bodes well for the second half. :thumbup

July 7, 200521 yr I had no idea he had that kind of gas in his tank to be able to go and throw almost 3 dominant innings. I thought he was a 1 inning type of guy... very impressive
July 7, 200521 yr I still like the AJ for Sheffield trade. 845063[/snapback] What's our rotation like without AJ?
July 7, 200521 yr I hope he can keep it up and help us become one of the rare teams ith a great bulpen, dare i say it..

I thought he was a 1 inning type of guy... very impressive 845067[/snapback] Frankly I was surprised too, as much with the kid as with Jack. I'm surprised he pushed him like that but I guess he wanted to see what the kid was made of, and he rose to the ocassion. Those were major league strikeouts too.

July 7, 200521 yr Real encouraging outing from the kid- if he can keep it up, that's one less worry spot (or one less player that needs replaced in a worry spot).
July 7, 200521 yr He pitched a very good 2IN plus congrats, if works in a change-up with that fastball and curve....WOW look out
July 7, 200521 yr Can anyone belive this kid converted from OF around this time last year in LOW A ball? Great job.
July 7, 200521 yr Can anyone belive this kid converted from OF around this time last year in LOW A ball? Great job. 845167[/snapback] It's a great story my dear friend Mr. Shamster. Do you know who suggested the change and how it came about?
July 7, 200521 yr Marlins2003, apparently the Marlins suggested it. Barron Collier graduate Chris Resop stepped off the visiting team's bus to true home fans. "I've known this kid since he was nine-years-old," says his Little League coach Lee Hansen. " It's emotional. To see a little kid nine-years-old in the big-league uniform...it's special." Chris says that he remembers those days too. When he watched games at Hammond Stadium. Four years ago Resop was drafted as an outfielder. Last year the Marlins came to him and suggested a switch to pitcher. "He called me up one day and says, 'Dad, I think I'm done,'" recalls Tom Resop. "I said, 'What do you mean, done?' 'Well, they don't want me to hit anymore.' I said, 'Pack your bags, come home, and go back to school.'" Chris adds, "I got called in and they said, 'Would you consider pitching? Have you thought about it?' I said, 'No, I haven't thought about it. I'm an outfielder.' He said, 'We're gonna make you a pitcher anyway.' I was like, all-right. I called my dad, I called my agent, and said, 'I need a glove right now.'" Chris is probably at least a year away from the Major Leagues. But now his family and friends can say that they've seen him pitch in a big-league game. Link
July 7, 200521 yr Thanks Admin,I think I saw that, but what I'm really curious "who" in the organization was the person (or people) alluded to in the story. If you get a chance to interview him for marlinbaseball.com, I hope you'll ask the question. (the above goes for Maverick too)
