Dr Beinfest Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 This further makes me question... how did we not make the playoffs in 2004? And I've gotta say... the FO is absolutely infatuated with him arent they? Hope for the best but prep for the worst! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 This sounds more like a smart, Marlins signing. Say what you want about the cheapness, this is actually a cheap move that could work out. Benitez has had success at this level before, and he's been having success in the minors the past couple of years. It's a lot better than giving the Jorge Sosa's of the world a chance, as we have been doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asabater Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Say, when's Ugueth Urbina's prison sentence up? The Marlins are actively filing motions for a temp release and to be sent back after October Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMarlinPride Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Signing a 38 year old who hasn't pitched in the league for 2 years is not exactly my idea of bullpen help :banghead If anything he's NOLA depth but if he sucks I'm gonna be even further pissed that they released Pinto.

dim Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 While we're at it, why not bring back Todd Jones, Joe Borowski and Antonio Alfonseca? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gizmo Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I don't mind this move at all. Look, the team has been looking everywhere for quality relief help, but everyone has been asking for LoMo in return. Who here really wants to give up our future first baseman for a 7th inning guy?

louiecastillo1 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Yay! This could possibly open the door for the great Matt Perisho to re-sign! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canada-marlin24 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 i actually like the signing and he has always had great stuff. he did pretty well with us back in 2007 bar a few rough outings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BafflingBeerman Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Let's do the time warp again! Let's see how he does in AAA. If he is serviceable, bring him up. Might as well keep the Wheel Of Torture, er, Fortune, spinning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 The Marlins re-discovered Benitez in the independent Atlantic League. In 17 games for the Newark Bears, Benitez had an ERA of 1.00, striking out 27 and walking four in 18 innings. He had six saves.

We've had some good luck in the minors with some of our signings filling holes created by guys being brought up or otherwise filling gaps in rosters. Welcome back Armando, I hope you turn some heads. I don't care what anyone else thinks but an ERA of 1.00 and 27 strikeouts in 18 innings is an impressive feat in any league, at any any level of the game. :thumbup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
