Gummy 0 Posted March 28, 2007 Uggeth Urbina, former closer for the Expos, Red Sox and Marlins, was sentenced to serve 14 years in prison for attempting to murder five people on his farm in Venezuela. Looks like the Prison Softball Team has found their new ace pitcher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gummy 0 Posted March 28, 2007 I've never heard of this guy. When was he active in MLB? He was last active in 2005. He was the closer on the 2003 World Series Champion Marlins. Ask Odo who he was, I believe he pitched in Detroit too. I know he's been in Boston too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gummy 0 Posted March 29, 2007 Yepper He is are starting second baseman and one of the best if not the best number 2 hitters in baseball No doubt about that. Where would the Tigers have been last season without him? Think the Phillies wish they still had him? But they got Chase Utley playing second for them and that kid is excellent.
