Doin' The Hokey Pokey

What's Up Pokey?
"Pokey is fine. He's with family. When personal feelings are involved, it's very difficult to put a timetable on the resolution of those.''
-Pokey's agent Mike Nicoterra

"I think that the 72 hours that have passed is more than a reasonable amount of time for him to offer some explanation for his unexcused absence. We still do not have that explanation, and we're moving on.''
-Marlins G.M. Larry Beinfest

A Red Sox fan favorite
Pokey's agent contacted the Marlins twice during his absence, so it sounds like harsh treatment from the Marlins' brass. We wish him the best.
