Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez will be on Tony La Russa’s staff at this years All-Star game. Willie Randolph of the Mets needs surgery so Fredi was asked to take his spot. Now that we have our rookie manager in, lets hope Cabrera, Uggla, and Ramirez get their deserving call.
The Fish sent Taylor Tankersley down to the ‘Topes after another bad outing (4 earned runs against the Braves). Lee Gardner was called up to take his spot on the roster. Tank was very effective last year going 2-1 with a 2.85 ERA and seemed like a great setup lefty in the pen. But, he never seemed to get things together after suffering from left shoulder inflammation during spring training.
Since we’ve been able to locate some of the files from the past, we will be posting many of our news posts from the late 1990s. Loyal Marlins fans will enjoy some of the old names and circumstances including our coverage of the 1997 World Series. You can read these posts here.
