Petersen assigned to minor league camp

I think its time to just let Petersen go. He f***ing sucks in center field and is a AAA hitter.

 

I though after 2011 that he had found his groove but clearly not.

 

I agree, Peterson is old news. While we are releasing him we can probably still get something decent for Chris Cog. I can see another very very long slump for him.

Austin Kearns is quickly becoming the new Wes Helms.

 

Helms didn't have to fight for a spot on the roster.

It seems like Kearns might not have to, either.

 

I'm referring to the fact that the Marlins were offering Helms guaranteed major league contracts despite his high level of suckage. Kearns doesn't have it that easy.

Kearns doesn't have a major league contract, but he's being treated as if he does.

The guaranteed money was the most egregious aspect of the Helms situation, though. He was awful in 2010, especially off of the bench (.114/.188/.182 line in 48 PH PAs--worse than Mike Lamb that year), and yet the Marlins offered him in the summer a guaranteed $1 million extension for the next season.

 

The Marlins haven't even come close to that level of idiocy with Kearns yet.

And frankly, I think I'd rather see Kearns on the roster over Coghlan, Gorkys, or Petersen. I don't give much weight to spring training numbers; Kearns has the best recent MLB track record. I'd guess that the Marlins are thinking the same thing.
