• Zambrano has rough start to spring

  Number of comments: 4
  

  PORT ST. LUCIE -- Carlos Zambrano's first Grapefruit League start with the Marlins Thursday turned out to be a bit like his days with the Cubs -- a bit of an up and down ride. 

  Zambrano, whom the Marlins acquired in a trade for Chris Volstad, lasted just 1 1/3 innings,' [...]

• Video of Samson Comments

  Will Manso of Channel 10 has a short video from David Samson’s speech. The clip is short but shows the most “controversial” claim that he called Miamians stupid (he did not). You can see the Showtime cameras to the left so I suspect this episode will end up on the [...]

  The trusty Buster Olney reports:
  

  By the way: The Marlins have talked about presenting a big, crooked number in a contract offer to Giancarlo Stanton, sometime soon.

  This is of no surprise, obviously, but it is indeed good to hear from a reliable reporter that the Marlins are working on [...]

• Marlins in no rush to get Anibal Sanchez his first Grapefruit League start

  Number of comments: 0
  

  PORT ST. LUCIE -- Carlos Zambrano will make his Marlins debut this afternoon at Digital Domain Park against the Mets.

  That leaves the Marlins with one starting pitcher in their rotation who has yet to make a start this spring -- Anibal Sanchez -- and it's still unclear when the 28-year [...]

• Still no start date for Miami Marlins pitcher Anibal Sanchez (sore shoulder)

  Manager Ozzie Guillen said there’s no date yet for when Anibal Sanchez will make his first Grapefruit League start.

• Donnie Murphy — not Jose Reyes — at shortstop for Miami Marlins today against the Mets

  The Marlins will play the New York Mets today for the second straight day but shortstop Jose Reyes hasn’t planned in either game. The Marlins play the Mets again Sunday in Port St. Lucie, and I’d say chances are better that Reyes will play in that game. Last night, he [...]

  David Samson: not entirely villainous. Miami Today has taken his quotes from a business conference, and we ran with it. Oops. Let's just say now we're even with Samson for the second Cameron Maybin trade...' [...]

      Interesting development here at Marlins Park as we await the start of tonight's Marlins/FIU exhibition. Major League Baseball notified the Golden Panthers only a couple of hours ago that they would required to use wood bats in their game against the Marlins. The FIU players are borrowing bats from [...]

• David Samson, kind of a jerk

  Number of comments: 0
  
  Make that, "pretty much a big jerk":
  

  Of politicians the team dealt with during the stadium planning process, Samson said they were "not the intellectual cream of the crop." This assessment extended to everyone else in South Florida. "We're not the smartest people in Miami," he said.' [...]
