Mike Stanton Called Up, FO Reshuffles Bullpen and Bench

[Bobbob1313]

I can't believe people really care about stuff like that.

It's not like I need to see the number to tell who players are, it's not football. That's really the only sport I keep up with numbers, because there's no other way to identify players.

[Mainge]

Numbers in other sports are identification. You can't see faces and such.

Not so in baseball.

[FishFF]

Guy on the left knows every baseball players number. He's cool.

[Swifty]

So you (and that's a collective you) couldn't give me the numbers of the players of consequence on our roster? You watch more than two games a week and this stuff doesn't stick? I'm amazed.

[Bobbob1313]

The guy on the right is playing dumb. He knows them too.
--------------------
I can think of most of the starter's, but not all. No idea on paulino or bake, or most of the starting pitchers an relievers.

I only remembered cam's because he loves Jackie, and is 42 backwards.

[Ramp]

Honestly I can tell you Hammer's, Jeter's, Hanley's, Lincecum's (even had to double check that it was what I thought), and JJ's. Just went on to the Marlins official site to see if I just forgot anyone and I didn't.

Also could have told you what Miguel Cabrera's second number here was, not his first though.

[Nick]

I'm trying to think,and I can only think of Hanley and Uggla's. The only reason I know Uggla's though is because I have a shirt with Uggla's name and number on the back.

I can name quite a few former Marlins' numbers though.

[Swifty]

Really?

Completely amazed.

[FishFanInPA]

Yeah, I don't know too many of the Marlins numbers either.

[Swifty]

Yeah but you rarely watch them on TV, right?

[Bobbob1313]

I might have known hermida's when he was here, but now that he's gone, I was only faintly aware. I'd say I was close enough for something that I'm not sure I care even a little bit about.

[DropkickAlex]

I've only caught 2 games on TV because I live up North but I think I could name the starters numbers but I would have trouble with the bullpen and some others. When I lived in Florida I could tell the numbers then which is odd cause I was only 8 when they won the 97 title. I also remember those numbers easier than the current ones.

I seriously only know Hanley. I watch most games.
--------------------
I could name every player by their batting stance, most likely.

This.

Swift I got you, I remember numbers fully.

And ya, Hermida loved 27 for some reason. He wore it in the minors as well. However, Jason Stokes wanted it first. He signed for $2.02727 (or something with 27 in it) and wanted number 27 before he went all bad on us.

As for me and numbers, I just remember them for some reason. I always like when Spring Training rolls around to see if anyone changed numbers (Hopper, Jai Miller, Leroux and Hayes did this year) maybe that makes me a dork. I remember what numbers Miggy, Olsen, Hammer, Pierre, or pretty much anyone wore.
