"Free-agent RHP Jeff Nelson could be the next addition to the Marlins' bullpen, joining the pitcher he was traded for last season, closer RHP Armando Benitez. Nelson has made 714 career appearances, none in the National League. ? "

That wouldn't be bad at all.

frisbee time

Sounds good to me.

What's up with the marlins going after all these guys with bad reputations?

Nelly isnt known to have a bad rep... other than that bullpen thing in bean town :confused

Alkazoid? How did he only have one good season? The guy has a lifetime ERA of 3.32 mostly playing in the AL. Also, he has something like 771 K's in only 721 IP. He might become our best relief guy if we got him.

Why would he criticize Seatlle for not contending, then go to Texas? Kenny Rogers is a solid move, but geez - why wouldnt you want to come to Florida?
