July 24, 200619 yr GREENSBORO -- They say baseball is a kids' game, but that's not as simple as it can get. At its most fundamental and most frustrating, baseball can become a toddlers' game. Just ask Gaby Sanchez and Agustin Septimo. Actually, you could ask Sanchez now. Soon, Septimo might join him in hitting a ball off a tee, the first stage of play for youngsters and rehabilitating professionals. The two Grasshoppers infielders suffered fractures in or near the hand in consecutive weeks of late May and early June, taking their team's first-half title hopes with them to the disabled list. The Florida Marlins never promised when or where the two would return -- both were seemingly in line for a promotion when they got hurt -- and the caution was wise. As the season passes the two-thirds mark, Sanchez is taking initial swings at the Marlins' minor-league complex in Jupiter, Fla., and might be ready to begin a rehab stint in the Gulf Coast League in two weeks, said Brian Chattin, the Marlins' director of player development. Sanchez's effectiveness there will determine whether he joins another team in the chain or returns to Greensboro, where he hit 14 home runs and amassed 40 RBIs in 55 games before breaking a finger on a head-first, game-winning slide June 5. Things aren't as clear for Septimo, who hasn't hit since May 29. "He's close, but we don't have a timeline yet," Chattin said Wednesday while watching the Hoppers play Delmarva.

He hasnt pitched all year and was put on the DL.I thought a player can not be taken off the 40 man roster while injured.
