From Joe Frisaro's Q&A...
"I have an idea that will make a big splash for the Marlins. They should bring back Charlie Hough for Opening Day. Bringing back the pitcher who started the first game in franchise history would be the most amazing move in the world. I think Hough is a veteran who can teach these youngsters a thing or two about being a pro ballplayer. Hough is the key. Please spread the word: Hough in '08.
"-- Nick S., Florida
"Your idea is now officially out there. The last I heard, Hough was a coach for the Inland Empire 66ers, a Class A affiliate of the Dodgers. They play in San Bernardino, Calif. From what I've gathered in the past, Hough likes it out West. A few years ago, the Marlins had a Charlie Hough bobblehead promotion that was well received. He attended the game in Miami."
Better yet, the Fish can get Charlie to teach his bobbleball to a few of the guys. With a year like last year, it may make sense to have someone on the mound who can eat up innings without the risk of throwing his arm out of whack.
