October 11, 200322 yr This may be a bit early seeing as the Marlins have post-season left to play but.... Seeing as how the Marlins are lacking a true lefty in the bullpen (Urbina can get out lefties but he will be gone and Tejera can't get them out.) how about bringing back Felix Heredia? He is considerably cheap(600,00$)and he can get out lefties (very good SO ratio against left-hand batters.)....It's a bargain.
October 11, 200322 yr Not too early for THIS topic. I agree with you 100%. We need a specialist, especially a cheap one, and El Gato Flaco would be perfect.
October 11, 200322 yr Here are some lefty bullpen arms (2004 Free Agents): * - Team Option Steve Avery Doug Creek* Jeff Fassaro* Vic Darensbourg Mark Guthrie Felix Heredia Graham Lloyd Kent Mercker Mike Myers Darren Oliver Authur Rhodes Jesus Sanchez
October 11, 200322 yr What about Mike Myers? Another former Marlin. He woudn't come at that much of a price, would he?
October 11, 200322 yr What about Mike Myers? GROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVY! :lol That submarine pitching style? YEA BABY!
October 11, 200322 yr yorkis perez, anyone? seriously, tejerible has to go. and dont even think about vic or jesus. i'd go for heredia, assuming 600k is the right number.
October 11, 200322 yr yeah, speaking of the lefty topic... Why does Jack keep throwing Tejera at left-handed batters? They've consistently hit .400 against him this season, and yet Jack insists on using him. Ed Kaplan isn't the only one who thinks this is retarded. It's just mind-numbingly dumb. Jack brought Tejera in to face two left-handed batters last night. That hit he gave up was the winning run for the Cubs... ARGH
October 11, 200322 yr Felix will not be leaving NY, Joe Torre is very fond of him and he has passed another former Fish Chris Hammond on the depth chart for lefties from the pen... im sure someone will step it up next year ( phelps, tejerable, possibly a rookie? )
October 11, 200322 yr seriously, tejerible has to go. He has great stuff. He doesn't need to go, but we can't use him as a specialist.
October 11, 200322 yr next year we should call Tejerable the Janitor because his a** is only coming in to MOP UP... sorry for the cheesy joke :lol
October 11, 200322 yr bleh dumb topic you dont worrry about this now. and in the begining of the season is not when u need the lefty. it is nice to have, but when u go to a playoff run is when u make the deal for the situational lefty. other than that you can just get any dumb lefty FA. you worry about it more when ur in contention and who knows if marlins will be next yr.
October 11, 200322 yr felix heredia or sullivan woulda been nice though THIS yr. yanks didnt give nothing for hiredia
October 11, 200322 yr The lefty that catches my eye is Joey Eischen, who i'm pretty sure is also a FA.
October 12, 200322 yr Jesus Sanchez I haven't seen him in a while. How has he been doing? What team? Sanchez played for the Rockies this year, but only threw 8 innings.
October 12, 200322 yr I like Steve Avery You gotta wonder how much he's got left, though. The Phillies went with Dan Plesac this year, he was fine for the most part...
October 12, 200322 yr I like Steve Avery You gotta wonder how much he's got left, though. The Phillies went with Dan Plesac this year, he was fine for the most part... Yeah, but I don't think Plesac has had all the arm troubles Avery has.
