To waste my baseball life
Would be a sin
Release me
And let me play again #humpdink

The Marlins placed Miguel Olivo on the restricted list after the team refused his request to be released and he walked out on the club during Friday’s game.

“I told them I wanted to be released and they wouldn’t give it to me,” said Olivo, who has been unhappy with his lack of playing time, in a phone interview with the Miami Herald. “I don’t understand why they don’t release me. I told them I wanted to be ...

That's OK - Larry Bowa will take it!

Walt Weiss interviewed for the Rockies job. He's now the head baseball coach at a Denver-area high school. This seems like the kind of thing the Rockies would do.

Will Loria have to overpay a la Jayson Werth just to get somebody to come manage in Miami???

I'm sure he could find someone who would be happy to take the job. Terry Bevington, for example. Bruce Kimm is available. Dave Jauss. Marc Bombard.

I always thought Don Wakamatsu deserved another chance. He got caught in Griffey politics in Seattle, not to mention the quality of the roster.

Luis Gonzalez is also a candidate. Link

Is Ausmus a candidate in Toronto?
