January 25, 201214 yr We sure do have a lot of players competing for a bench spot now. Maybe one of these guys will work out.
January 25, 201214 yr Seems very unlikely that he'll be able to land a roster spot. Marlins already have a lot of guys competing for reserve spots (Coghlan, Peterson, Cousins, Rowand, etc.). Still worth the try though I guess. EDIT: Wow, really didn't mean to almost copy SF745's post above me.
January 25, 201214 yr Dobbs from the left side and Kearns from the right off the bench could be awesome.
January 25, 201214 yr Looks like we're applying the old bullpen logic to the bench this year. See what sticks.....
January 25, 201214 yr If he doesnt make the 40 man, does he go to AAA? Or does he get cut altogether?
January 25, 201214 yr i have fond memories of sitting in the Fish Tank opening day 2009 and hearing two drunk guys yell KEARNS! HEY KEARNS! YOU SUCK! KEEEEEAAAARRRNS YOU SUCK! nonstop for two hours
January 26, 201214 yr Used to be good. Worth having around if he can get some semblance of his old stroke and we need a guy to provide some spot AB's.

Good times.
January 26, 201214 yr The fish tank evolved through the years anyway. Early on it was upper deck, then it was out in the outfield.
January 27, 201214 yr My best memory for the OF was when JP came back for the Cubs, everyone was cheering madly for him. My brother and I sarcastically rooted and yelled for Jacque Jones the entire game.
January 27, 201214 yr Ha, my favorite was heckling Carlos Delgado when he came back in 2006. Not like he could hear us. Then a Mets fan in front of us stood up and purposely mooned us with his disgusting, hairy ass.

The guy picked us to sign with out of several suitors in FA and we happened to turn around and send him out of town for minor leaguers the next year.

Actually, we sent him to the Mets for Mike Jacobs. Mike Jacobs got us Leo Nunez 4 years later. Leo Nunez turned into Juan Carlos Oviedo 3 years later. Juan Carlos Oviedo ... to be determined.

Leo Nunez was a total screw-up and it's fitting that his career ended with a fraud, which is what he was as a closer. But I'm confident that this Oviedo guy is gonna do well as a set-up man. He hasn't had an ERA over 4.06 in the last 5 years, and plus a change of scenery from playing in the black hole that was Florida to coming to an exciting locale like Miami can only help him.

He's gonna be the same guy because roles don't really matter. You're either a good reliever or you're not a good reliever. Leo Nunez worst season as a Marlin was as a setup man. The whole "doesn't have the mentality to be a closer" is bulls***. He's just not very good. Always been the same guy. He allows too many HR's to be the very good high-leverage reliever the Marlins hope he can become.
