Erick Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Omar Infante, #4 last year for the Braves, will wear #13. Javier Vazquez, #31 last year for the Yankees, will wear one of his old numbers, #23. Edward Mujica, #45 last year for the Padres, will wear #34. Randy Choate, #36 last year for the Rays, will wear #35. Mike Dunn, #38 last year for the Braves, will wear #40. Â Out of our guys who were here last year, Gaby Sanchez has gone from #14 to #15 (Buck will wear #14), Scott Cousins goes from #28 to #33, and Brad Davis goes from #58 (which will now be worn by Ryan Webb) to the Dan Uggla #6. Â Looks like that's it. Â http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/team/roster_active.jsp?c_id=fla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Why does Gaby have to change numbers for Buck? Because Gaby is the "odd man out" and will probably be traded before spring training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like Brad Davis :cool What's your point? If not Javy, Brad Davis will lead us to the NLCS vs. the Celtics.  It's simple math, tard.

Dr Beinfest Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Why do numbers even matter in baseball? Why do numbers matter in any sport? In football and hockey, it's how you identify a player. If you're somehow familiar with the players number but not their face in basketball, it could apply there too. In baseball, positions are so defined and players faces are visible. Almost like there's no reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like there's no reason. That's fine for TV, but in person I need numbers. When I'm sitting in the OF, those numbers help me a ton. Whether it's with a bench guy getting a start, a pinch hitter, or baserunners, I need those numbers.  Hell, ask any broadcaster if they need those numbers. Most of them would be lost without them at some point during the game, especially with the opposing team. Ask Dick Sanford how much harder his job would be without the big #18 on the back of the pinch hitter he's about to announce from his booth above the club level. Ask the official scorers, the umpires, or the bench coach if the numbers are important to their job in keeping track of players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Beinfest Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Meh, I'm not saying that they should do away with numbers. I'm just saying they're not that big of a deal. Like you said, obviously you'll need them for substitutions, etc. But it's not like football or hockey, where in all likelihood without the numbers you'd have absolutely no idea/verry little idea what player caught the ball/scored/whatever.

It doesn't matter who is 14 and who is 15, because quite honestly nobody's looking at Buck's number. They know who was announced in the lineup as catcher.

People who own Gaby's # might be a bit upset at his number change. But in all honestly, it's not big deal. But if more popular players (no offense to Gaby) were to get a number change out of the blue, it might be suspicious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they matter, then. And why does it matter that Marshall wears 19 or Booth wears 10? I have no idea what it has to do with ego. And how the would I know if he was in the starting lineup if I get to the game at 7:10?  I really have no idea what you're going on about here.
