redsox Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 [align=center][/align] I made this move to dump off some salary, and bring in some strong young relief pitching. I'm actually surprised they accepted it. But hey, i won't complain. Wow! This has got to be the first time I have seen the computer make a deal where they will be adding on to their payroll.

MarlinsMS_35 Posted April 30, 2007 Author Share Posted April 30, 2007 Fast Forward September 1st, 2007 Key Acquisitions: SP Rick Vanden Hurk RF Dolph Kolb (16 yrs old) SS Alfredo Amezaga CF Alfonso Soriano SP S. Elbert (19 yrs old) Key losses: CF Nook Logan CF Alex Escobar SS Felipe Lopez SP Greg Maddux CF Mike Cameron Record 48-86, Last, NL East It was tough, but we had to dump off veteran salary, we wont be very competitive for the rest of the year [i'll sim to the off-season] but we hope to make a splash in to off-season, and amp up our pitching staff. And with Soriano, yes he carries a hefty salary, but he's signed for 7 years, and we wont have to worry about negotiations with him for a long time.

MarlinsMS_35 Posted May 3, 2007 Author Share Posted May 3, 2007 [align=center] [/align] I was sitting in my office today, looking around it, just trying to relax after an off-season of hysteria. This just makes me want to get out there more and more. I looked up at my poster of Mario Lemieux, former Pittsburgh Penguin, and then it hit me. I don't know how I'd stack up against some of these players, and I don't want to take the spot of a qualified player. I don't know how I could possibly make this work, but I'd like it too. I also don't want to seem like another one of those crazy GM's throwing a publicity stunt, although it might turn into one. I'll be an outfielder, I'm more valuable there. I'll try it out in Spring Training and see how I don. I'll make a decision on whether to stay GM/player or just GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinsMS_35 Posted May 4, 2007 Author Share Posted May 4, 2007 [align=center] [/align] [align=center]SILBERLING'S DEBUT TO AIR ON ESPN(HD)[/align] On March 5, 2007 Nationals GM/player Michael Silberling will make his major league debut in a spring training. Nobody knows if he will play in the regular season, and those questions will be answered once we see how he preforms. Our scouting reports from practices show that he gets along with the players very well, and this might just boost up team chemistry as well. He is an on and off hitter, but when he's on, hes unbelievable. He has great range in the outfield, and a gun for an arm. His real test will be the game, which will be aired right here on ESPN.

MarlinsMS_35 Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 [align=center] [/align] [align=center]SILBERLING'S DEBUT A DUD[/align] Silberling's Spring Training Debut as a Washington National didn't turn out how he wanted it too. He went 0-2 with 1 walk. Of course his hitting hasn't been the main spectacle of his abilities. He showed us why the rumors spreading around of his rocket arm, and great fielding reactions came from. He was a monster out there in center. Now the main question is, will Silberling slot himself in the lineup, or will he give way for the more experienced, and overall more talented Grady Seizmore. We will now play the waiting game. Silberling watches on as he makes his first appearance in the field. Silberling tracks down a ball in the 3rd.

MarlinsMS_35 Posted May 6, 2007 Author Share Posted May 6, 2007 FAST FORWARD: End of Spring Training [align=center] [/align] [align=center]SILBERLING MAKES ANNOUNCEMENT[/align] He's promised us that after spring training was over, GM Michael Silberling would make an announcement on his playing status for the Nationals. Many rumors swirling around is that he will trade Grady Seizmore, so he can take over in center. However that did not turn out to be true. Here is the transcript of the very short press conference. Silberling: Thank you all for coming today, and before we get into questions, I will answer what is on everyones mind. Our starting center fielder next year WILL be Grady Seizmore. He is better qualified for our team, and I'm not going to put myself in front of the team. During spring training it seemed like I was doing that, and I promise that will not happen again. However I will be a bench player, and if I'm ever needed, I can go into the game. My full attention will be on being GM of the Washington Nationals. Now on to questions.

Timp Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Grady has traditionally been used as a leadoff batter, but has the pop of a middle-of-the-order bat. Where do you see Grady batting this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where do you see Grady batting this year? Well, Grady is an amazing all-around player, and I'm very excited to have him playing for us. This year I expect him to hit second or third in the order, but it's something the me and Manny will have to decide on before we open up against the Dodgers.

MarlinsMS_35 Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 I just got the call from NBC, and excitingly accepted the invitation to host SNL this saturday. I guess I'm becoming a national figure now. I like it . I hope I can live up to what Peyton Manning did a few weeks ago. That was laugh out loud funny. Especially the basketball halftime meeting one. "I just thought about going out there for the second half, and a little bit of pee just came out." I couldn't strop laughing. i can't even believe this is happening, it's amazing. ESPN is going to be all over this. This is what the site looks like now. I have no idea why Molly Shannon the scheduled host was unable to do it. I won't mind as long as long as it's not something serious. I can't wait for this, I'm pumped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinsMS_35 Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 [align=center][/align] BOXSCORE Even though the score doesn't show it, the game was a pitchers duel, we had some breaks go our way, and so did they. I love the intensity, it's a lot different when your in the dugout, in full uniform, then in a suit and tie in a box. It was great defensive plays that made Westbrook's job much easier Zumaya closes out the game for the win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
