June 1, 200620 yr Marlins bringing Tankersley up Carolina Mudcats ZEBULON, N.C. -- Following Wednesday night's game, the Florida Marlins purchased the contract of LHP Taylor Tankersley and added him to the 25-man roster. Tankersley, who threw a hitless eighth inning on Wednesday night against Tennessee, was notified of the move minutes after the 4-1 loss to the Smokies. Tankersley lowered his ERA to 0.95 after his outing, and leaves the Southern League having allowed one hit to his final 33 hitters. Tankersley was the Marlins' first round pick in the 2004 draft from the University of Alabama, and becomes the first Mudcat to reach Florida straight from Double-A in 2006. Eight different players were recalled from Carolina to Florida in 2005. The Mudcats close out their 10-game road trip on Thursday night against the Smokies before returning home to begin a 10-game homestand on Friday night against the Mississippi Braves.
June 1, 200620 yr Author Who comes down? Is German being designated for assignment? Martinez is coming off the DL soon and that means that another has to come on down... my guess is PETIT...watch and see if Wellemeyer and Herges aren't next opening up another spot for a youngster....

Martinez is coming off the DL soon and that means that another has to come on down... my guess is PETIT...watch and see if Wellemeyer and Herges aren't next opening up another spot for a youngster.... I am guessing German and Welley might be designated for assignment soon. Thats what the news papers are saying. We will see soon.
June 1, 200620 yr Wellemeyer has already been released to open up a spot for Martinez; next step would either be Herges (even though I'm not sure if his deal is a guaranteed contract) or Petit back to AAA...German has pitched well since we acquired him and he is strong righty in the pen.... my guess is Petit back to AAA
June 1, 200620 yr I liked pettit up there he has done good up until last night honestly. But I liked pinto in the bullpen even more.
June 1, 200620 yr Terrific news! Tank has definitely earned it. Thanks for the heads up Forty4. So it's Wellemeyer released, German DFA, and Carlos & Tank up to the pen. I'm psyched! With Messy & Kensing pitching strong lately, the pen could really be filling out nicely. :thumbup
June 1, 200620 yr Right now there are 26 people on the active roster with Tankersley added both German and Wellmeyer still there.
June 1, 200620 yr Meh, get rid of German. Might help. He's either hittalbe or issuing free passes. Welcome to the team Abrams. Cant wait to see what you got.
June 1, 200620 yr Is Tank going to be in Colorado tomorrow? Should be Yes. Thanks. Too bad the game is not tonight. I hate off days.
