May 29, 200620 yr marlins say that german will be activated tomorrow and martinez in teh upcoming road trip!!!!! sounds good
May 29, 200620 yr We knew this.... The bigger question is who is gone or demoted? Pinto, Kensing, and Petit have been great. Herges is trash and Wellemeyer has been disappointing.
May 29, 200620 yr German, Martinez updates: A couple of relievers on the disabled list are close to returning. Franklyn German, who threw rehab assignments Saturday and Sunday for Class A Jupiter, likely will be activated Tuesday. The team wanted to see how German's right shoulder responded to pitching in back-to-back games. He was given a day of rest Monday. German went on the disabled list May 10 with shoulder tendinitis. Also, right-hander Carlos Martinez is throwing well and could be activated during the upcoming road trip, which begins Friday at Colorado. Martinez went on the disabled list April 17 with a right elbow sprain. On Monday, Martinez threw 21 pitches in one inning of an extended spring game. To get the right-hander some more pitches, they put a runner on base even though he didn't allow a baserunner, just to get extra work. His velocity was up to 94 mph, where it was before he went on the disabled list. When Martinez returns, he will be eased into a setup role. Girardi was asked if Martinez could be activated on the upcoming road trip. The manager replied: "It's very possible." http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/...t=.jsp&c_id=fla Good to see Martinez is throwing the heat again.
May 29, 200620 yr I am guessing Pinto and Herges :w00t . It will probably be Pinto and Petit eventhough they have been pitching very well.

May 30, 200620 yr Wellemeyere is all but gone, and Pinto or Herges would be the other two to decide with. Petit will be suited for the long relief or 6th inning imo and u throw in Kensing for the 7th inning after Martinez gets back to normal with Jobo still closing things up for now.
May 30, 200620 yr The pen will most likely be... Borrowski Kensing Messenger Herges (I wish Pinto would stay over him but we know that wont happen) Petit Martinez German
May 30, 200620 yr The pen will most likely be... Borrowski Kensing Messenger Herges (I wish Pinto would stay over him but we know that wont happen) Petit Martinez German So you're saying Wellmeyer will be gone?

Yea, if you look at the way he's been used it's pretty clear that he'll be the odd man out. I think every game he has pitched in has been mop up duty. And when Mitre gets back someone will have to be DFA and by sending down someone like Petit, Messenger or Kensing down to the minors it solves nothing.

I hope you're right...I really don't want to see Petit sent down.
May 30, 200620 yr Wellmeyer has to be gone for German And I think they'll demote Petit for Martinez, and get Petit back starting in AAA
