Marlins have a decision to make on to whom to offer arbitration....

Willis or Cabrera?

If they pick Cabrera....is Willis worth a look? I say YES - he's not having the best year this year, but he's only 25, and we KNOW what kind of pitcher he can be.

Matt700wlw · 08-24-2007, 07:29 PM

Fay thinks both Votto and Bruce will get a call in September.

they will offer both arbitration, with Willis then being trade at some point between then and July 31st

Players like that aren't non-tendered, they are traded if they are not affordable.

That was.....odd.

9-4-2-6-4 was the out, the zip code for Almieda, CA, the home town of Dontrelle Willis

MrCinatit · 08-24-2007, 07:44 PM

That was certainly a strange play.

But a very good play by Phillips.

Ltlabner · 08-24-2007, 07:45 PM

Wow...that was a ride on the tilt-a-whirl.

Nice recovery by BPhil.

DoogMinAmo · 08-24-2007, 07:47 PM

I heart the overgrown monkey on the pitching mound.

CTA513 · 08-24-2007, 07:49 PM

Phillips saved at least 1 run by getting that throw from Valentin that would have went into center.

Ltlabner · 08-24-2007, 07:53 PM

I like BPhils sense of humor. When he came up to throw without the ball on Willis' hit he made a show of throwing air. And then, of course, the big giant smile.

DoogMinAmo · 08-24-2007, 08:02 PM

Gameday froze during Jacobs' at bat. Update?

Eric_Davis · 08-24-2007, 08:04 PM

Sad when Aaron Harang has the best at-bat during an inning.

Can Ellison even hit it past the pitcher?

Matt700wlw · 08-24-2007, 08:05 PM

That 5 scorched line drives now that's found a glove...

Good point.

Looks like Willis is pitching to the level of competition, though he's not striking anyone out.
