Posted April 19, 200619 yr Sorry for the back to back threads but do we have any other options in the bullpen? Are there any minor league pitchers who might be ready for the big leagues? Thanks.
April 19, 200619 yr I'd give Resop a shot...and maybe Tank. If we are going to lose...I'd rather lose with the youngs guys.

April 19, 200619 yr Burnettheat34 is a pitcher I believe. Lets try him first. Can he throw strikes???
April 19, 200619 yr Burnettheat34 is a pitcher I believe. Lets try him first. Can he throw strikes??? More strikes than the guys currently in the bullpen, I bet. :lol

April 19, 200619 yr What about Jesus Delgado and Harvey Garcia? Any one know if theyre ready? And Ben Julianel isnt that the kid we got from the Yankees? Hes a lefty which is somethin we need...
April 19, 200619 yr How about spreading Moehlers contract over to some quality relievers and let JJ take his place in the rotation

Pick someone. Anyone. Its more like this Ranking based on talent, potential, and likely to reach potential 1)Taylor Tankersley (AA) projects as set-up/closer (more likely set-up) IMO our bets relief prospect 2)Chris Resop (AAA) projects as closer/ set up. Fearless, bulldog on the mound should be in the major now 3)Jose Garcia(H A) projects as dominating closer/ set-up. Currently SP with + stuff but small frame and pitching depth ahead of him means he will most likely be a reliver in our organization. FB 95 mph, good slider, and good change for his age (very good control) 4)Jesus Delgado (H A) projects set-up man. 95-97 FB, developing change. 5)Harvey Garcia(H A)projects as set-up man/closer 95-98 FB, developing change (Very similar to Delgado, though he throws harder and has less of a change) 6)Jacob Marceux(H A) struggling so far as a starter. Scouts project him as closer because of his 95 mph fastball and frame. He throws 4 pitches 7)Travis Bowyer(AAA) best fastball in the sytem(can hit 100 mph) poor secondary pitches. Projects as set-up man. Closer if he can atleast develop an average change-up or curve (currently DL) 7) Logan Kenisng (AAA) projection 7 inning set up. Heavy 94 mph, with good control. When sinker is left up in strike zone is very hittable. 8)Randy Messenger (majors)- projects 7,8 inning set-up. Needs to improve control, Fastball is straight at times. FB 96 mph 9)Kurt Koehler- (H A) projects as work horse reliver. Started as a starter but things didn't work out so well. Is very similar to Kensing though Koehler might have better stuff 10)Adam Bostick(AA) currently a starter but projects more as a lefty specialist because of good curve ball. Needs to work on control big time. FB 88-93 as a starter although likely to improve as reliver 11)Scott Tyler(AA) very good stuff with poor control. Scouts question his work ethic. 94-95 mph FB, hard curve and decent change. Pitches from low three-quarters arm slot 12)Allen Baxter(H A) big time sleeper. Has the best curveball in the system to go along with a 98 mph FB. Currently on the DL. Im not sure if the Marlins are going to develop him as a starter. Needs to improve control. 13)Chris Leroux(L A) projects as a closer/set-up. Currently a start probably to just get more work in and improve control. Possess 97 mph FB and hard slider. Very raw use to catche and pitch in college 14) Scott Nestor (H A) project as a set-up man. Has a very good 95-96 mph FB but lacks the other secondary pitches. Needs to improve control. Currently on the Dl 15)Paul Mildren (AA) currently a starter but projects more a lefty specialist. Posses a 88-91 mph FB, cutter, and one of the best change-up in the organization. 16)Rafael Galbizo(L A) 94 mph FB, with hard curve. New to the scene as he came from Cuba and doesn't have much of a history. 17)Chris Mobley(AA) good slider that he can locate at will, with a 88-92 mph FB. Off to a bad start in AA after tearing up Low A last season. May be because of fringe FB and lack of a third pitch. Projects as 7inning set-up 18)Daniel Barone(L A) 90-92 mph decent FB that he locates well. Barone also throws a change-up and slider. Currently not much of a prospect yet. Very mature and not afraid to pitch inside Other Notables Matt Goyen (H A) currently a starter but scouts say because of fringe stuff he is better suited to picth out of bullpen. High 80's FB and one nasty change-up. Comparison to John Halama/Mark Redman. Projects as end of the rotation starter or Middle reliver Ryan Tucker(L A) Has a 96 mph FB that he throws little effort. Marlins want to give him every oppurtunity to become a starter but lack of control and a true 2nd pitch might not allow him to stay there. Can either be top of rotation start or closer Ben Julianel(AA) not ranked higher because he is 27 already and only in AA, with a history of control problems. If he can improve control he projects as a lefty specialist
April 19, 200619 yr Anibal Sanchez looks like a starter for the Mudcats W-L 1-1 ERA 2.89 G 3 GS 3 CG 0 SO 0 SV 0 IP 18.2 H 16 R 8 ER 6 HR 1 BB 6 SO 19
April 19, 200619 yr I could see Logan and CPR up fairly soon Who is that? Resop... those are his initials but it's also a cool nickname for someone out of the bullpen
April 19, 200619 yr Author I could see Logan and CPR up fairly soon Who is that? Resop... those are his initials but it's also a cool nickname for someone out of the bullpen :thumbup I like. Thanks.
April 19, 200619 yr Wasn't Bowyer supposed to be here to share closer duties at the start of the season and be the closer by the end? As for pitchers the Marlins have drafted I'd like to see Ungs get a shot He seems to win everywhere while not being overpowering. Of course Resop, even though sometimes when he pitches I think I'll need CPR
April 20, 200619 yr Bostick and Kensing I could see being called up soon. Not Tankersly, unless we get rid of Herges or Joe Worthless and he takes a spot on the 40 man. I am a big supporter of Kensing though...as a 1 or 2 inning guy, he could be quite good. Another option is always Vargas...if Pinto continue to do so well in Albuquerque, he could take Vargas' spot in the rotation while Vargas goes to the pen for a while and tries to get the magic back. Except Pinto is averaging almost a walk an inning. Moehler is there now, how effective he'll be is up in the air, and Nolasco will take Mitre's spot and kick him to the pen before too long most likely. The season is young, and it's not like we are used to great bullpens.

Bostick is having the exact same problem in Carolina Tank on the other hand is someone we could see shortly

Bostick is having the exact same problem in Carolina Tank on the other hand is someone we could see shortly I noted Pinto's walk problem. I'm interested in seeing Kensing get another chance. Resop as you mentioned earlier as well. The only reason I said Bostick instead of Tank is I dont know who we'd take off the 40 man to make room for Tank, outside of releasing Herges or Joe Worthless, while Bostick is already on there. I guess taking someone like Scott Tyler off to make room would be ok. I am kind of contradicting my Pinto arguement somewhat, because I still think Vargas will be effective, and in fact that he will be nasty, when we get into the meat of the season. If I turn out to be wrong, so be it, but I have no problem waiting to see.
