July 17, 201313 yr Fernandez represented the Marlins well....from what I can tell, at least, because FOX decided to show only about 4 seconds of him actually pitching.

July 18, 201313 yr I guess seeing a 20 year old Cuban defector pitch a 1-2-3 inning in the ASG with 2 strikeouts isn't exciting enough for FOX.
July 18, 201313 yr the fact that he has been through that much and hes only a year older than me makes me feel like ive done nothing with my life
July 18, 201313 yr the fact that he has been through that much and hes only a year older than me makes me feel like ive done nothing with my life I'm a year and a half older than him. Thanks for making me feel like shit.
July 18, 201313 yr the fact that he has been through that much and hes only a year older than me makes me feel like ive done nothing with my life I'm a year and a half older than him. Thanks for making me feel like s***. I've just gotten to that point where I'm older than most of the starting lineup and the rotation. It's weird.

I feel like I went to high school with everyone on the team, but I was a senior and they're all juniors... lol
July 19, 201313 yr Jim Bowden ranks Jose the #1 rookie in baseball headed into the second half... that's impressive based on this years class. WOW. http://insider.espn.go.com/blog/the-gms-office/post?id=7172
July 19, 201313 yr When does Puig start qualifying? They included him on the list at #3 behind Fernandez and Shelby Miller.
July 20, 201313 yr I guess seeing a 20 year old Cuban defector pitch a 1-2-3 inning in the ASG with 2 strikeouts isn't exciting enough for FOX. I would have to guess it had more to do with the team he plays for rather than the player and his past. Maybe if they knew he was going to look like that things may have been different. But hindsight/20-20 vision......You get the idea.
