Giants Need Drink, Trade Benitez
Citing extreme thirstiness, the San Francisco Giants traded right-hander Armando Benitez on Thursday to the Florida Marlins for right-hander Randy Messenger and a glass of water to be named later. What’s in it for the Marlins? Quoth skipper Fredi Gonzalez: “We’re getting a guy that has that experience and our people think he can still do it.”
(Careful readers will note that Gonzalez didn’t specify what “it” is.)
If there’s anyone who can make Marlins fans forget Jorge Julio, it’s Benitez. As for folks in the Bay Area, no doubt they’re ecstatic over the departure of Benitez. At the very least, we can be reasonably well assured that they won’t shoot the Messenger.
Swiftly exits room without apology…
