• Marlins Release Gibbons

  • Yesterday, Jay Gibbons hit a home run, today he’s looking for a new job. The Marlins surprisingly released the left-handed outfielder with weeks left in Spring Training. The Marlins also sent some of their best prospects to the minors including Kyle Skipworth, Matt Dominguez, Jose Ceda and Michael Stanton.

  • Marlins Tie Cardinals in 2009 Spring Training Opener

  • The first Spring Training game for 2009 is in the books as the Marlins rallied to tie the Cardinals 5-5. Among the bright spots for the Marlins was a Hanley Ramirez 2-run home run. Unfortunately, Anibal Sanchez had a rough start, allowing 3 hits and walking 3 in 2 innings and the defense performed like it’s 2008. Since the game ended in a tie, the only winners are people like us, Fish fans who are excited to see the team back in action.

  • The Marlins Can’t Win Even When They Do

  • The Sun-Sentinel had an interesting take on last night’s exhibition game against the Yankees:

    I’m pretty sure the headline is wrong. Here is what the Miami Herald said:

    I wonder who got it right?

    We kid of course. Unlike the headline, Juan C. Rodriguez’s article accurately captured the result of the game. The rest of the article though, hmm… Check out this nugget:

    sun-sentinel_arod.jpg

    Either A-Rod was born in 1985 (rather than 1975) or the Marlins played in the NLDS against the Giants in 1987, before they existed. Maybe they meant yesterday’s starting pitcher, Andrew Miller, who attended the 2003 World Series. I’m sure it’s a common mistake to confuse Alex Rodriguez with Andrew Miller. Happened to me on my Fantasy Team. Maybe A-Rod plays for the Marlins now. We seem to remember covering it this past fall.

    I’m sure by the time you read this, they fixed it. Don’t worry, we all make mistakes (thankfully, I’m a hack not a journalist).

  • The Future is Later: Maybin to AA

  • Looks like we’ll have to wait to see Cameron Maybin. The Marlins just optioned him to AA meaning Alejandro De Aza is our starting CF. I hope this was a tough choice because Maybin looks like he’s almost ready for the bigs. Either the team feels he would be harmed by playing in the majors right now or they really have aggressive goals for the season and think that De Aza and Cody Ross will allow us to compete for this elusive goal. Don’t feel bad for Maybin, he doesn’t turn 21 until April 4th.

    Update: Cody Ross will actually start on opening day because we will be facing a lefty (Johan Santana).
