Psycho Sid Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 The emphasis is on if, although it is likely he will continue to struggle, who should be given a shot at the closer's role? Messenger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollyberry Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 There is nobody in our pen that can close. Well, if we blow the lead in the 6th-8th we don't need a closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prinmemito Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 After Carlos Martinez comes back and shows us he's healthy, he's our closer. If not, K-Mart is still our closer of the future. :thumbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcorner Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 What's going on with Travis Bowyer, is he hurt? I don't see any stats for him at Carolina... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CYmarlins Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 hes been hurt and hasnt picked up a baseball from what i been hearing from reports. jobo is all we have for right now until our other ppl get healthy and show they can throw strikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotcorner Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Ah, thanks CY. I think Borowski will probably be fine.  If not we can always give some of the kids a shot. Petit, Pinto, Sanchez, etc. Why not. Certainly Carlos Martinez will get his opportunites if he comes back healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildMarlinMan2003 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Two words for you... Taylor Tankersley.....hopefully this converted starter can come in and become a Jonathan Pappelbon type clone. Also, Carlos Martinez has the stuff to close when healthy.

TheDon Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 The emphasis is on if, although it is likely he will continue to struggle, who should be given a shot at the closer's role? Messenger?   Are they putting something funny in the water these days? Messenger clearly does not have the mindset to close games. Not sure if he ever had it but maybe someone stole his mojo. Borowski blew a save. It happens. Chad Cordero does it all the time. Im not saying Borowski is the answer to the bullpen atrocities but unless were gonna get creative and give Pinto or Petit a shot to close games I think our only option is to keep giving the ball to Borowski.

Admin Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Give Kensing a chance at closing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marlins2003 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 What's going on with Travis Bowyer, is he hurt? I don't see any stats for him at Carolina... Bowyer is listed on the Isotopes roster and yes he isn't pitching yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenman04 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 IF Borowski continues to struggle? I think the only question is how much worse is it going to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
