Why sign Benitez? Best explanation I can come up with is that maybe someone told Loria that it was 2004 or something and he expects to be getting back the guy who saved 47 games? Secondary explanation: maybe he's secretly trying sabotage games in order to trigger a clause in the stadium lease that would allow him to move to Cleveland!
Either way, Benitez will go to New Orleans, physical willing, to pitch for the AAA club. Don't be surprised to see him in Miami soon, though, because these games don't lose themselves.
Ieri i telecronisti dei Mets hanno fatto notare come, curiosamente, Edwin Rodriguez sia di Puerto Rico (ed è diventato il primo manager portoricano a vincere una parita in MLB). Hanno anche fatto notare il tempismo della sua promozione, dato che settimana prossima i Marlins giocheranno proprio a...Puerto Rico. Probabilmente è solo una coincidenza, ma visti i precedenti di Mr. Loria (biglietti invenduti del perfect game venduti a prezzo intero, 0 free agent firmati questa estate ecc.ecc) qualche dubbio mi è venuto :lol2:
Bobby Valentine last night on ESPN, ripping the Marlins for the way the went about their managerial search, a search that started with Bobby as the apparent front-runner before talks fell apart over the weekend.
“If this is a Major League process, I hope I’m never in the process again,” he said last night on Baseball Tonight. “It’s very disturbing, confusing and it was insulting at times, but it’s over.”
Bene Mike Stanton, 12 HR in 194 AB. Strikeout il 31% delle apparizioni al piatto, ma teniamo conto che non ha ancora 21 anni.
