Sup Mile Davis Armando Benitez, in Pro Player Stadium and a place where pressure is non-existant, would be amazing.
December 6, 200322 yr we got one of the greatest jazz musicians in the building? Benitez looks like he's been on a downward spiral since his days with the O's, especially in big game situations. but if we're able to get him at a descent price, why not? who wouldve thought Chad Fox would provide the performance he did last year
December 6, 200322 yr this thing WC keeps mentioning about no pressure kinda bothers me. you do realize that being a defending world champion does bring some pressure with it dont you?
December 6, 200322 yr you do realize that being a defending world champion does bring some pressure with it dont you? I have a feeling the pressure level in Florida will still be among the lowest in the game compared to the rest of baseball.
December 6, 200322 yr thats not what i mean though. when your a champion (no matter if your not expected to repeat) youre gonna have a bullseye on you. there's this added push to beat you well in the AL Benitez went: G GS IP H R ER HR BB SO W L Hld Sv BS BAA WHIP ERA 24 0 23.2 18 9 7 1 17 25 1 1 5 0 1 .207 1.48 2.66
December 6, 200322 yr G GS IP H R ER HR BB SO W L Hld Sv BS BAA WHIP ERA 24 0 23.2 18 9 7 1 17 25 1 1 5 0 1 .207 1.48 2.66 Every one of those numbers is steller, besides the WHIP.
December 6, 200322 yr Fox won't make a good closer. However, he would be a good setup-man like he was last season.
December 6, 200322 yr Chad Fox should be our closer. He was big for us and I trust him more than Pooper Scooper (Looper). You guys should trade for chirs hammond. The yankees fan base and brass hate him...I bet you could get the yanks to pay down some of his salary too. Chris Hammond = Marlins fan favorite I still remember when he hit the grand slam over the right field fence. He can pinch hit and everything. And he hasn't been pitching that bad out of the pen the past couple of years at all.

Anyway, benitez statistically has been a better regular season closer than Mariano Rivera since the year 2000. Kind of hurts those of us who use statistics to prove thing, because benitez ALWAYS blows it when it matters. I have never seen anything quite like it.

December 7, 200322 yr what former marlin does that remind you of? :shifty I dunno...better not be hammond, he just blew most of his career...IMHO, he's a no brainer trade if the Yanks are dumb enough (which they will be) to overload the pen by signing white.
