FYI....Josh Johnson, a converted catcher, is pitching very well. Had a 3.86 ERA last year and this year has a 1.80 ERA w/ 7 SO in 5 IP. I know i mentioned his stats before but i didnt know he played another postion previously.

I think he makes his second start tonight and of all Marlins prospects he has the chance to elevate himself to blue chip this season. Awesome stuff and a huge man.

Whats the V for Sham? VonPoppel?

So what is the prediction on how long until Valdez is our starting SS? I'm guessing by the end of next year.

Could easily be the beginning of next year. Gonzalez' salary may have to be moved this off-season to help get some of our young arms into multi-year deals.
