Comments on: Blalock signs with Rays despite more PT with Marlins http://marlinmaniac.com/2010/03/09/blalock-signs-with-rays-despite-more-pt-with-marlins/ A Miami Marlins Fan Site - News, Blogs, Opinion and More Tue, 07 Feb 2012 14:05:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Michael Jong http://marlinmaniac.com/2010/03/09/blalock-signs-with-rays-despite-more-pt-with-marlins/comment-page-1/#comment-1240 Michael Jong Wed, 10 Mar 2010 14:21:17 +0000 http://marlinmaniac.com/?p=2022#comment-1240 John, I'd say it probably depends on the young guy. If it's Gaby Sanchez, then as John and I mentioned last week, it's probably good that Blalock didn't steal all of his PT. But if it's Jorge Jimenez, it's just as likely he won't be that good of a player. Then again, who knows? I think he would have done well here, but it's no season-breaker for the Marlins. Maybe he won't even crack the lineup in Tampa and get released from his minor league contract. Then he can sign here. If not, it's not a big deal for us. John,

I don't think he'd be making much of a difference when you factor in his switching from AL to NL w/ new pitchers to face, coupled with his recent numbers. I'd rather see a young guy get the opportunity. I don’t mind his not being here.
