Tweet me!Who are these awesome baseball-playing impostors and what have they done with the Florida Marlins?
Hmmmm. Let's begin by pointing out their 7-1 record, which just so happens to be their best start since 1997. Curious. We all know what happened that year... yep, eight wins in the first nine games. What, did you think I was going to mention the World Series? I don't think so. First of all, I'm not on crack. Second, it's way too early for that kind of nonsense.
 And how about that bullpen? Very fishy. (Ha!) Wednesday night for example, four of them allowed only two hits and no runs in 4 1-3 innings put together. Renyel Pinto? Yeah, I can pretty much guarantee that the average baseball fan outside of Florida has no idea who the hell that situational lefty is. But it was about time the relief corps started to help with the load anyway, since the starting rotation and their combined 2.47 ERA were getting pretty tired. And what about their offense? I'm only going to give you one example, partly due to laziness, but mostly because I want you to make an effort to watch these guys all on yuor own before they start sucking again. Emilio. Bonifacio. This kid, and I'm pretty sure he's maybe 13 years old, is sporting a .463 batting average after going 12-for-17 in the first eight games. He has a decent number of RBI at 4, but gets on base like you wouldn't believe. We're talking 17 hits here. And then he makes it home, scoring 12 runs already this year and stealing 4 bags. Color me impressed. Sadly, scouting reports on him are just horrible -- Ken Rosenthal thinks he's actually "afraid of the ball" -- but he's doing a damn good job so far. So back off, Ken. I love his guy. Maybe calling the Florida Marlins your sleeper team once again, for like, the 8th year in a row, will finally pay off! Not sure what the FantasyPros911.com Premium Side offers?

If there's a professional baseball player that tell's you that he's not afraid of the ball he's lying. Tim Kurkjian wrote a whole chapter on it in his book that came out last year.
Kevin Seitzer, the Royals hitting coach, was hit on the head two or three times during his career, and he still managed to play every day.

Anyway, I think Rosenthal was referring to him being afraid of the ball defensively, unless I was unclear on that one... and for whatever reason I took offense to that statement and immediately felt like I had to defend my new crush.
