• Marlins Squeeze a Win Out of Webb

  • In another close post-season like game, the Marlins beat Arizona Diamondbacks 3-1. Arizona’s ace Brandon Webb was looking to start the season 10-0 having dominated all his opponents this year. But, Ricky Nolasco was up to the task, allowing only 1 run in 7 innings. The biggest play in the game came in the bottom of the 5th when Matt Treanor executed his second suicide squeeze of the year, bringing in Luis Gonzalez. Cody Ross then followed up with a solo home run.

    The Marlins are 26-19 and have a 2-game lead in the NL East.

  • Luis Gonzalez is Heading Our Way

  • Luis Gonzalez signs with the Florida Marlins

    Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Marlins have lured Luis Gonzalez with a one-year $2 million deal (including an additional $1 million in incentives).

    Gonzalez, 40, is expected to fill a combination of roles, including left field and first base, and serve as a mentor for the Marlins’ younger players.

    Interesting that he is saying left field, meaning the Marlins are serious about giving Maybin the starting CF job.

    Gonzo has slowed down significantly over the last couple of years but the team is hoping he provides depth and most importantly veteran leadership.
