Since you asked about the DFA thing before, what I assume they do then is bring him up and put him on the 60 day DL to free a roster spot. It's what they did with Harvey Garcia last year. It'd also be real good news for Dallas: he'd make 400k next year and one year closer to arbitration/free agency. We'll have to see what they do though. Ive been reading trying to figure out what happens to him. Since he is on the 40 man I really dont know what they will do. I would love for them to do what you are saying!

hey nny, still think he is a prospect worth keeping and a guy with a future on the team? lol yeah lol everyone knows you should dfa guys who get tommyjon! name a pitcher who has a future after tj?

Good to hear the surgeries went well, let him know we're rooting for him to do well in rehab and wish him the best. So he's expected to basically miss all of '10 now? And there's always going to be a h2r09 in a fan base so I wouldn't really pay any credence to what he has to say, he doesn't speak for us as a whole. Yeah Nny, he will miss all of 2010. I could see him getting a few innings in the minors just to see what he could do but I am hoping the Marlins will give him the full year to rehab. It's not just TJ he is recovering from, he also has the flexor tendon. When he went to Alabama he was hoping to just have the Flexor Tendon surgery because it is only a 4 month rehab. From what Andrews told him he willl do the TJ rehab which will also rehab his FT. Im know Dallas will work hard to come back 100%. From what Ive read over 85% come back from this surgery just as good as they were. Some even come back stronger. We shall see. Im thankful for fans like you and Erick. Guys who see the big picture

Get well. Hopefully he gets better and is the exact opposite of how poor hes been for the previous 2 seasons, if his ineffectiveness is totally due to injuries like someone would lead me to believe. Yeah Spike, I know you wont be buying a Trahern jersey. That is fine.

hey nny, still think he is a prospect worth keeping and a guy with a future on the team? lol H209 Your a TOOL. Ive seen your posts about Dallas and have ignored them. I cant believe you are making fun of a guy who's career could be in jeopardy. He did this during spring training and gutted it out for the team. People like you make me want Dallas to get traded or released so that he can get picked up by another team.

I figure this will get out soon anyway so I might as well tell you. Dallas had Tommy John surgery AND Flexor Tendon surgery today in Alabama. Dr. Andrews did the surgery and it went well.

no, which is why David Davidson was put back on our 40 man roster after we DFA'd him. MILB dl might be different though. Thanks. From reading the MLB site it sounds like any player on the 40 man roster is considered part of the the MLB roster (just not active) and that if on the 60 DL the player isnt counted towards the 40 man number. Just is confusing.

Can the Marlins remove a player from the 40 man roster if he is on the DL? Thanks in advance?

Hey Guys, I got on to give you a Dallas Trahern update and found this link. I have a few thoughts. First, yes Dallas is done for this year. He told me that about two weeks ago when he started playing soft toss. Last Friday he threw for the first time off the mound. He was very excited that both his sinker and curve ball were working really well. The down side is he started having pain again. The next day it was worse. He is flying to Alabama to meet with Dr. Andrews (for a 2nd time) next week. I personally hope they do the surgery. From the research I have done on his injury it is only a 4 month rehab and he would be ready in plenty of time for Spring Training. I dont think rest is the answer. Im not a doctor but I did stay at a holiday inn express a few times! Now for the guy who was commenting about Dallas' stats and said he always seems to be injured. This has been on my mind for the last three months looking at all the injuries the Marlins seem to have had with their pitchers. Dallas NEVER had injury issues until he became a Marlin. The Marlins have a totally different approach during Spring Training than the Tigers or any team Dallas has ever been a part of. I know this because I have known him since he was 11 years old. As far as Dallas getting claimed off waivers, I do feel if he was put on waivers he would be claimed. However, I spoke with Dallas today, he fully expects to be dropped from the 40 man in the off season and is focused on working hard in the off season to be ready by Spring Training to come back and earn his way to the major leagues.

In 2008 he pitched with an open cut on his pitching thumb. (yes the entire season) He pitched this entire season with a Torn flexor tendon in his elbow. (yes he did it before the season ever started but tried to gut it out) But hey, Ive come to expect no less from you Spike. We get it. You dont think Dallas is any good and he's a waste of a roster spot.

Talked to Dallas last night. He has started playing catch. He told me he wont be back this season as he was out to long and by the time he gets his arm back in shape for pitching the season will be over. He is hoping to be able to possibly play in a Fall league since he lost so much of the season.

Dallas should be cleared to start throwing in 2 weeks.

Good news...well kind of... a 2nd MRI done today confirmed it is just a torn flexor tendon in Dallas elbow. Dallas will be out another 4-6 weeks before he can even start throwing. But at least it's not Tommy John.

Talked to Dallas yesterday and he will be seeing Dr. Andrews for a 2nd opinion on his situation.

Dallas flew back to Florida tonight to rehab there. Not sure how long he will be there.

lol. he's my boy!

With the 16th pick...of the 2009 Marlins Prospect draft...trahernsfriend selects....Dallas Neal Trahern...Starting Right Hand Pitcher...disabled List....New Orleans Zephrys

Good news so far. The doctor who read the MRI said it isnt as bad as they thought. No Tommy John surgery. Marlins team doctors havent looked at it as of yet but initial prognosis is he wont be out too long.

Dallas will have a MRI today or tomorrow on his elbow.

I was being sarcastic. Surprising that the Ump tossed him with it being an off speed pitch.

At least he could have hit him with a fastball.

2nd inning was a wild one with a Round Rock batter thrown out after he hit a HR and Barone thrown out after hitting the next batter. 31 did the benches clear?
