January 13, 200422 yr Outfielder - Abraham Nu?ez (Estrellas/Marlins), .292/.404/.562 A former intriguing prospect, whose future have been affected by injuries and a new birth certificate, Nu?ez had by his best season in the league, leading the circuit in homeruns (12), runs scored (35), runs batted-in (36), walks (34), doubles (12), total bases (100) and slugging. Nu?ez played a very strong defense in center and right field, if a bit error-prone, and was among the league leaders in assists by an outfielder with six. Along with Jimenez, Nu?ez was the logical candidate for the MVP award, although he received much more recognition than the Tigers second baseman. Nu?ez hit .341/.451/.588 on the road and .242/.364/.527 at home. Nu?ez improved his ability to make contact, with just 26 strikeouts in 178 at bats. He still owns a nice set of skills, and I think he can't do any worse than several fourth outfielders with jobs in the big leagues right now. c/o baseballprospectus.com
January 13, 200422 yr Well, we'll see in a few weeks whether can finally hit major league pitching or not. I for one hope so.
January 13, 200422 yr This is not bad, and the Dominican Winter league is very competitive. A lot of Dominican stars play on the league, including Tejada and Bartolo Colon.
January 13, 200422 yr Who knows he might end up being starting LF and Conine at 1b.. i doubt it, but i think he'll make the team
January 13, 200422 yr I have been calling for this guy to be our 4th starter for some time now. Looks like he will get his chance - barring injury. Cant wait for this season to begin...
January 13, 200422 yr I have been calling for this guy to be our 4th starter for some time now. Looks like he will get his chance - barring injury. Cant wait for this season to begin... Let's see how he performs in spring training before we pencil him in. The last time he was on the roster he was nothing short of awful. I'd like to see him succeed but by no means is he shoe-in to make the club.
January 13, 200422 yr I have been calling for this guy to be our 4th starter for some time now.? Looks like he will get his chance - barring injury.? Cant wait for this season to begin... Let's see how he performs in spring training before we pencil him in. The last time he was on the roster he was nothing short of awful. I'd like to see him succeed but by no means is he shoe-in to make the club. Last time was 2002 and he was, what, 22? Now, he is 35 (jk) and much more mature and patient. Seriously, he had a very good spring training last year, if you recall, but got injured near the end. We were going to go with Al 'Loco' Martin. And I am hardly 'penciling him in' - I said he will 'get his chance'.
January 13, 200422 yr he made the team out of spring training last year ... but he got injured towards the end and we went with the ICE Man .... which didnt work out Always liked him but he hasnt proven anything to me .... plus he looks a lot like Endy Chavez ... but at least we'll only have one Nu?ez in the team
January 13, 200422 yr If Abe leaves ST with better statistics in most categories than Choi, DO NOT be suprised to see him starting LF. He could very well be a darkhorse starter, Just like the Angels were the darkhorse for Vlad.
January 13, 200422 yr at this point nothing surprises me El Rampo, if it's possible, can you get me his splits from the winter league? Thanx!

January 13, 200422 yr Nice numbers for Abe nunez, he is really going to be good for our bench if he does well in Spring training. We do need back up players so he has a great chance of making the team.
January 13, 200422 yr If Abe leaves ST with better statistics in most categories than Choi, DO NOT be suprised to see him starting LF. He could very well be a darkhorse starter, Just like the Angels were the darkhorse for Vlad. I dont think that is going to happen. Abe will be the 4th OF, he may get some more PT, forcing Choi to play less, but I doubt he will push Choi out of 1B. Besides, why is everyone down on Choi? This guy was one of the top hitting prospects in ALL of baseball and has not been given enough time to really get it going...

Even if Abe hits .800, I don't think the Marlins are looking to tinker with their starting lineup, let alone replace someone with just about zero major league experience. He'll make a good 4th OF, but that's about it for now.
January 14, 200422 yr very happy about abe nunez dont get down on choi guys, he hasnt even played one game with us
January 14, 200422 yr very happy about abe nunez dont get down on choi guys, he hasnt even played one game with us I have to wonder how many people here have actually seen Abraham Nunez play the game of baseball? The same thing goes for Choi.
