Marlins ace dead at 24

[keysersosay#1]

I just watched this young man beat my Nats a few nights ago.... he was DOMINANT ,a sure fire HoFer , a completely overwhelming power pitcher who was almost unbeatable, especially at home.

Now, dead at age 24 in a boating accident.

Sad Sad sad terrible news. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and the Marlins team...... what a Loss.....

Very sad news.

Alcohol, high speed and darkness . . not the best recipe for safe fun.

One of the best young pitchers in baseball with one heck of a future. Sad day.

Reminds me of 1993 when 2 Cleveland Indians were killed in a boating accident during spring training in Florida..... So sad to hear of his tragic death at such a young age!!! R.I.P.

That kid was special, and he was on his way to am unbelievable career. Such a tragic loss for Miami and the entire baseball world.

I don't keep up with MLB, and never heard of the guy but apparently he played minor league ball in Greensboro. Sad situation that sounds like it could've been avoided.
