October 19, 200421 yr I didn't know Koch's era was so low in his time with the Marlins -- I can't believe I'm asking this about Billy Koch , but why'd they let him go?
October 19, 200421 yr I didn't know Koch's era was so low in his time with the Marlins -- I can't believe I'm asking this about Billy Koch , but why'd they let him go? 20 walks in 25+ innings.
October 19, 200421 yr Oh he had a good second half? Why not sign him to a minor league contract? Oh D'angelo Jimenez had a good year, lets sign him to a minor league contract! Oh look...Lyle Mouton had a good year in the Independant leagues, lets sign him to a minor league contract!!!

Oh look...Lyle Mouton had a good year in the Independant leagues, lets sign him to a minor league contract!!! I never did, never would suggest that we sign Koch. But the Marlins wanted him in the middle of the year -- why would you change your mind only after he played well? I thought he was signed through next year, w/ the Sox picking up most of it anyway. His walks and whip were bad, but not really worse than advertised.
October 19, 200421 yr Sorry wasn't intended to be directed towards you...just more of a carryover from the Bring back Esteban thread... I'm sorry if it came off that way
October 19, 200421 yr Sorry wasn't intended to be directed towards you...just more of a carryover from the Bring back Esteban thread... I'm sorry if it came off that way No problem, I just thought since I was bringing up his 2nd half, etc.
October 19, 200421 yr He was a free agent anyways, what's the big deal? Wasn't Castro the one acussed of raping someone at a hotel?
October 19, 200421 yr Koch has not been with the team for about the last month. On the marlins message board i had heard his wife got really sick and he asked for leave. But then every place reported that he was suspended by the marlins. So none of them on the marlins board actually know what happened either.
October 19, 200421 yr Wasn't Castro the one acussed of raping someone at a hotel? Yes he was. http://www.sportscandals.com/baseball/publ...rinter_18.shtml From SportScandals.com Baseball Florida Marlins catcher Ramon Castro charged with rape By SportScandals.com Aug 30, 2003, 16:06 Florida Marlins catcher Ramon Castro was released on $25,000 bond Friday, after he was charged with rape. Castro, 27, from Puerto Rico was arrested and charged Friday night at Allegheny County Jail, his release was delayed while he underwent a psychiatric evaluation required in all cases in Allegheny County when someone is accused of a sex offense. Castro was on his way back to Miami on Friday night after the incident in Pittsburgh, Castro and another couple met at a bar and then went to a Westin hotel where Castro was staying. The woman alleged the assault took place early Thursday in Castro's room after the other couple left, Kraus said. Castro allegedly threw the women on a hotel bed, ripped off her clothes and held her down, the women resisted but Castro continued to sexually assault her. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Sept. 4. Speaking from Puerto Rico, Castro's wife, Brenda Castro, told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review that she had talked with her husband while he was in police custody and that she stood behind him. "He told me everything. I know he did what is right," she told the newspaper in Spanish. © Copyright 2003 by SportScandals.com
October 19, 200421 yr I still have a hard time believing the Marlins traded us for Koch but as of now we got the better end of the deal.
October 20, 200421 yr Sorry wasn't intended to be directed towards you...just more of a carryover from the Bring back Esteban thread... I'm sorry if it came off that way I got it.... ...and laughed pretty hard too....
