June 17, 200620 yr Thanks for going AWOL, Pokey. Yeah as much as I like Uggla I really hope everything is ok with Pokey's situation. I'm sure you do aswell. :thumbup
June 17, 200620 yr Who's system did we get him from? What a steal. rule 5 draft pick from Arizona. Hated by 3/4 of this board for no reason opening day. Don't try to throw that back in peoples face, that's really pathetic :lol someone struck a nerve.
June 17, 200620 yr Thanks for going AWOL, Pokey. :thumbup Wow....he may have never had a chance if Pokey stayed...who knows. Uggla has been slotted into the spot since camp began. If anything, Pokey leaving cemented Amezaga's spot. Pokey Reese never beats out Dan Uggla for this job.

Don't try to throw that back in peoples face, that's really pathetic :lol someone struck a nerve. He is the best rule 5 pick ever and also he is one of the reasons why we are playing so good lately. He reminds me of Jim Thome for some reason. :hat

June 17, 200620 yr What his avg right now? .307........he's making the rest of the league learn how to pronounce his name..it's UGG-la. i hope he makes the ASG, he definetly deserves it, i just hope he's not ignored. as of right now, i have that gut feeling that Utley would be picked over him. i don't agree w/ it but i think that'd happen.

I don't consider it sad because when we had Castillo his defense and speed make up for his lack of power. With that being said I want Uggla to develop into a defensive player because thats what wins ballgames. Go Marlins!

What's wrong with making people eat crow every now and then? People hated Uggla for no reason other than he was in AA for Arizona last year. That's pathetic.

June 18, 200620 yr I was reading something else and they had a link to all in-season rotoworld comments on Uggla in reverse chronological order. Enjoy. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpag...guenum=&id=4239
June 18, 200620 yr I was reading something else and they had a link to all in-season rotoworld comments on Uggla in reverse chronological order. Enjoy. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpag...guenum=&id=4239 Interesting note by them on their first comment: Uggla is hitting .283/.323/.450 in 60 at-bats. He remains the only real internal candidate to start at second base for the Marlins. The team should be looking for a cheap infielder to pair with the Rule 5 pick, maybe Brandon Phillips or Keith Ginter. This was when someone predicted Hanley would be the "worst regular in baseball" but Phillips is having a pretty nice season over in Cinci. He was a highly touted prospect and was part of the deal that brought Colon to Montreal. Good to see him doing well too. That said, Uggla should be a reserve behind Utley, but we'll see if Garner throws Biggio onto the team ahead of him. My guess is that sadly, only one Marlin goes. Then again, only one non-Yankee or Red Sox player will start for the AL... In fact, Mike Lowell has more votes than anybody on our team, and he's only fifth on his team. The guy on the team with the least votes is Gonzalez, who has more than every Marlin besides Miggy. Here is a link to the voting results thus far: http://cbs.sportsline.com/mlb/allstar/voting
