Why pay him $5 million when you can likely get similar production for cheaper.<br /><br />As far as the Marlins, I wouldn't say they have 'no' stars. I still think there's a good chance Morrison gets his act together and Stanton is a tremendous power hitter.<br /><br />I can't believe Warthen is coming back. I don't have a suggestion on a replacement, I just never felt comfortable with him...probably because I never felt Peterson should have been fired.Michael S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10592189867244144200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-59604821249785307942011-09-29T15:20:59.809-04:002011-09-29T15:20:59.809-04:00I believe Bobby O quit as a coach in the Mets mino...I believe Bobby O quit as a coach in the Mets minor leagues because the higher ups or whoever had the final say regarding the pitching prospects, kept messing with deliveries and changing their mechanics. I think the final straw was actually when someone changed their former first round pick Aaron Heyman Heilman's delivery from low three quarters, to a more over the top release. Soon after, Bobby got fed up and bolted. Please do not take any of this as fact, I just remember about hearing that somewhere. Perhaps, during a Mets telecast years agoCharleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03520446193510393380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-40080013521128788262011-09-29T12:29:55.677-04:002011-09-29T12:29:55.677-04:00Mack, I can't agree more on Pelfrey. Why pick ...Mack, I can't agree more on Pelfrey. Why pick up his option if he's not a viable answer to their long-term questions. I think they are doing it as a stop-gap. Not that it is right or a good move, but that's what I think they are doing it for. <br />I also agree they shouldn't create a media circus with Nimmo and offend younger players. That makes his road a little harder as teammates along the way with begin to resent him and treat him accordingly. <br /><br />I have to admit Warthen surprised me too. A team ERA in the middle to latter of the pack does not usually warrant an extension. I suppose they are banking on it being a healthier year in 2012 and blaming injuries for the overall pitching, not Warthen. <br /><br />Ozzie will find out soon enough that the Marlins need to spend money to contend again because their farm is not deep for the future. Their best prospects are at the MLB level already.<br /><br />Great article. Thanks for the time to write it.Frank Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12259994707312355138noreply@blogger.com
