May 31, 200422 yr Ben Howard Replacing Beckett in the rotation will be A.J. Burnett, who will be activated off the 60-day DL and make his first start on Thursday against the Mets at Shea Stadium. The Marlins are expected to call up right-hander Ben Howard from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday. AJ replaced Beckett. Who does Howard replace?
May 31, 200422 yr Ben Howard...FINALLY! Who he replaces is a good question though, maybe we'll waive Oliver.
May 31, 200422 yr Nice. Hopefully he'll replace Oliver, we can get Beckett back, and have a solid pitching staff.
May 31, 200422 yr Ben Howard...FINALLY! Who he replaces is a good question though, maybe we'll waive Oliver. Are they going to activate AJ tomorrow or wait until Thursday. If they wait until Thursday, they can send Howard right back down if they want.
May 31, 200422 yr Author Gator must have nailed it....Howard replaces Beckett....AJ replaces SOMEONE Thursday.
May 31, 200422 yr Nate Bump or Admin Sutton Maybe Oliver was traded to Colorado for a bag of marbles :thumbup
May 31, 200422 yr Nate Bump or Admin Sutton I think you are right Hopefuly the Rockies take Oliver for a bucket of warm ups balls
May 31, 200422 yr here are ben's stats with the topes so far this season: Pacific Coast League ? Albuquerque Isotopes 4/8 to 5/27 WLSVERAGIPHRERBBKOHR 2 0 0 3.96 16 25 20 13 11 15 22 3 basically an era of 3.96, a whip of 1.40, and 7.92 K/9 in 25 innings of work. not spectacular, but we might as well get some work out of him for the next couple of games before we have to make a decision.

KO, Ha.
May 31, 200422 yr didn't howard pitch during ST? if so, what were his numbers? Does it matter? Abe Nunez hit in ST
May 31, 200422 yr didn't howard pitch during ST? if so, what were his numbers? No, we didn't see Howard in ST this year. We got him in the trade with Blane Neal.
May 31, 200422 yr I would trade Oliver to the Rockies and send Nate Bump down. I've been waiting to see what Ben Howard can do.
May 31, 200422 yr I thought all Beckett had was a blister...? Blisters take time to heal, and even when the blister is all healed up the skin will be sensitive until Josh builds up callus' on his fingers.
May 31, 200422 yr Ben Howard Replacing Beckett in the rotation will be A.J. Burnett, who will be activated off the 60-day DL and make his first start on Thursday against the Mets at Shea Stadium. The Marlins are expected to call up right-hander Ben Howard from Triple-A Albuquerque on Monday. AJ replaced Beckett. Who does Howard replace? If im not mistaken AJ was put on the 15-day DL a while back I really dont see the point of putting Beckett on the 15 day DL unless Cordero goes on the 60-day and we drop Sutton to AAA and Oliver is either released/traded ... all of this is because AJ is coming back im confused :confused
May 31, 200422 yr I hope Howard replaces Oliver and A.J. replaces Beckett. Than when Beckett comes back he can replace Howard or Sutton(I think Bump can get it done). I'll be happy as long as DO is the 1st man gone.
