September 8, 200422 yr RotoWorld.com Michael Tejera - S - Marlins Marlins designated LHP Michael Tejera for assignment. Tejera had a 3.97 ERA in 19 starts and three relief appearances for Albuquerque. Some team could claim him and give him a bullpen spot for the final few weeks. Sep. 7 - 6:02 pm et Tommy Phelps - R - Marlins Marlins designated LHP Tommy Phelps for assignment. Phelps underwent elbow surgery after being sent down to the minors in June and has struggled to make it back. He'll probably stay in the organization once he clears waivers. Sep. 7 - 6:00 pm et
September 8, 200422 yr Author He was a safe guy to designate since he should make it thru the waiver period without being claimed.
September 8, 200422 yr Basically they are being taken off the 40-man roster to make room for Kensing and Small for those of you who don't understand what this means.
September 8, 200422 yr Very sad news for them both. As many of you know, I am a huge Tejera supporter and hope that he remains with the team. The Phelps thing reminds me of what they did to Brian Banks earlier this year when he went down.
September 8, 200422 yr I hope for Tejera's sake somebody picks him up. We have no use for him. Phelps is one of my favorites, and I hope he gets a shot to make the team next year.
September 8, 200422 yr Phelps is one of my favorites, and I hope he gets a shot to make the team next year. 546364[/snapback] Agreed. He'll have to win it in ST though.
September 8, 200422 yr Small has been up a few times this year, how is he not on the 40 man? [/confusion]
September 8, 200422 yr Small has been up a few times this year, how is he not on the 40 man? :confusion 546493[/snapback] Keep in mind Cordero was on the 60-day DL. That probably freed up a spot during the regular season. Now that he's back, someone else had to be moved.
September 8, 200422 yr Small has been up a few times this year, how is he not on the 40 man? [/confusion] 546493[/snapback] Small was designated for assignment twice and was never picked up by any team.
September 8, 200422 yr DING DONG TEJERRIBLE IS GONE....THE MAN WAS A POX UPON THE TEAM. 546538[/snapback] Nobody's claimed him yet as far as I know. And he was at AAA anyway.
September 8, 200422 yr Tejera did not shine too brightly in his one start in with the Hammerheads on August 19. In 3.1 innings against Class-A St. Lucie, he allowed 1 run on 3 hits and walked 3 (2 of them consecutive). After walking the leadoff batter in the 4th, followed by a flyout and a single, he was taken out, and consequently took the loss (Jupiter lost that game 2-1). I have nothing against him personally, but I don't want to see him with the Marlins anymore.
September 8, 200422 yr Anyone remember a few years ago when Tejera first started starting and looked like he was gona turn in to Dtrain, he had a quality start almost every start and fans were flocking to see him for a few games. His curveball was crazy that year, and he spotted his 93 94 mph fastball, if u think about it, if he had control again, his stuff is soo nasty he could be a good pitcher in the majors

September 8, 200422 yr I hope someone pick up Tejera. He could use a change of scenerie. I wish him the best.
September 8, 200422 yr he's got a helluva curveball 547135[/snapback] Unfortunately it's not a Major League curveball
September 8, 200422 yr Tejera has been HORRIBLE this year. No if or buts about it. I like Phelps. He could help us next season.
September 8, 200422 yr he's got a helluva curveball 547135[/snapback] Unfortunately it's not a Major League curveball 547138[/snapback] puhleaze he has one of the best curveballs i have ever seen
September 8, 200422 yr I know they wouldnt put a pitcher in unless they know they would help the team, so whatever decision the team makes, its fine with me.
