February 18, 200620 yr So Al Leiter is going to try it again? And had to accept try-outs as a NRI. He should just retire instead of putting himself through the humiliation.
February 18, 200620 yr Hey, if the Marlins keep sprinkling their former crappy relievers around the league, the young Fish just might win a few more games than they're expected to....
February 18, 200620 yr The Giants have also invited Abraham Nunez and Michael Tejera to camp as non-roster invitees. And how can you forget Moises Alou ?!?!? =)
February 18, 200620 yr Who is Travis Chick, Ross Gload, Bart Miadich- How long did they play for Florida Organization, what was there stats?
February 18, 200620 yr Author Who is Travis Chick, Ross Gload, Bart Miadich- How long did they play for Florida Organization, what was there stats? I don't know their stats- Chick played in the minors and was the player we traded to get Ish Valdez; Ross Gload I think we traded to the White Sox; Miadich played in AAA a year or two ago.
February 18, 200620 yr Author I don't remember Mercado being in the Marlin organization! http://www.baseball-reference.com/m/mercahe01.shtml
February 18, 200620 yr Since this list is really any Marlins who appeared so much as on a transaction sheet, Johan Santana deserves some love.
February 18, 200620 yr Going over my list of players I only see two that were missed Nate Robertson in Det and Travis Smith in Atl. I point this out as I got Robertson's autograph at Tiger camp today and I'm going to track down Smith tomorrow at Diz.
February 18, 200620 yr how was johan part of the organization again? We rule V'd him from Houston and traded him to the Twins.
