September 1, 200620 yr A blurb was in today's PBP saying that Chris Resop will likely be getting a callup. No suprise there. One other was mentioned as getting the likely callup...Jason Vargas.
September 1, 200620 yr Jim Brower and his 4.41era will be up yay! :plain "I'm biased because he's a good friend of mine, but what impressed me most about him more than pretty much anybody I've ever played with is he takes the ball no matter what," Herges said. "He just takes the ball and he's extremely competitive. " aka: he has no out pitch.

September 1, 200620 yr One other was mentioned as getting the likely callup...Jason Vargas. Jason's season stats in Albuquerque: 12 starts 2-6 record 7.21 ERA in 63.2 IP 1.76 WHIP .345 BAA simply amazing what happened to the guy.
September 1, 200620 yr I don't want Vargas or Messenger back. The only reason to have Vargas-there will be some games where we will be down a lot, like 10-1, so why waste a real arm. Now if we are up 10-1, then you can't bring him in. Man, Messenger almost let a 9-2 lead get away last week, Vargas is equal to that task if not superior.
September 1, 200620 yr What is the status of Stokes? Is he on the DL? Stokes is good..back playing and actually had a couple of rbi's yesterday....have not heard if he is getting a call.....checked with my vested interest and he did not know anyone other than Andino and himself....and he is in flight to Milwaukee
September 1, 200620 yr Author What is the status of Stokes? Is he on the DL? Stokes is good..back playing and actually had a couple of rbi's yesterday....have not heard if he is getting a call.....checked with my vested interest and he did not know anyone other than Andino and himself....and he is in flight to Milwaukee Oh okay. I would love to see Stokes get a chance.
September 1, 200620 yr Author I don't see how Stokes would get any playing time unless Cabrera is out for a long period of time. I dont mean give Stokes starts everyday but I would like to see him come in if the Marlins have a nice lead or something. Or maybe even PH. Nice to see a new face.

Wasn't he learning to play outfield too? Maybe he could take a start in right field. Not sure.. Anyone know?
September 1, 200620 yr Speaking only for myself, I found right field to be the hardest position to play, and I caught from LL and into college when I switched to second and then first (with a pattering of all three outfield positions as the need arose). The ball always seems to be moving away from you, slicing, slicing, just hellishly difficult. My point being, you just can't say "send so and so out to play right field", it doesn't work that way, not at the major league level and especially when you're in a wildcard hunt.
September 1, 200620 yr Yeah, here's a list of call-ups... Coach: Morris Buttermaker Relief Pitchers: Amanda Whurlitzer Rudi Stein Steve Ogilvie Outfield: Timmy Lupus Ahmad Abdul-Rahim Jose Agilar Kelly Leek Infield: Tanner Boyle Jimmy Feldman Regi Tower Toby Whitewood Catcher: Mike Engelberg The coach is waiting for his next beer. The pitcher is waiting for her first bra. The team is waiting for a miracle. Consider the possibilities. THE BAD NEWS MARLINS!

"He just takes the ball and he's extremely competitive. " aka: he has no out pitch. :lol ah, always my favorite quality in a pitcher: "hey, will that guy in the bullpen come in & pitch in this situation if the coach tells him to?" "Who, him? Not only would he pitch right now, he'll take the ball NO MATTER WHAT!!!" :o :rock :skippy :spam :super :usaflag :wow :elf :omg :panic :fitness3 :eeek
September 1, 200620 yr Not sure if the official callups were posted yet so... Yusmeiro Petit - Relief Pitcher Sep. 1 - 4:51 pm et Marlins recalled RHP Yusmeiro Petit from Triple-A Albuquerque. Petit will serve as a middle reliever for now, but he could make a couple of starts later on. He was 4-6 with a 4.28 ERA, 101 H and 68/20 K/BB in 96 2/3 IP for Albuquerque. Chris Resop - Relief Pitcher Sep. 1 - 4:50 pm et Marlins recalled RHP Chris Resop from Triple-A Albuquerque. Resop finished with a 3.81 ERA in 49 2/3 innings, which is pretty good for an Albuquerque pitcher. He might get a chance to work in a setup role if he impresses over the next couple of weeks.
September 1, 200620 yr Would've really liked to see Jose Garcia get some sort of cup of coffee this year.
September 2, 200620 yr Speaking only for myself, I found right field to be the hardest position to play, and I caught from LL and into college when I switched to second and then first (with a pattering of all three outfield positions as the need arose). The ball always seems to be moving away from you, slicing, slicing, just hellishly difficult. My point being, you just can't say "send so and so out to play right field", it doesn't work that way, not at the major league level and especially when you're in a wildcard hunt. I agree. I hate playing rightfield. I can't get that good of a read on the ball. Center is much easier, for me at least.
September 2, 200620 yr didnt they mention a few others called up? . Fleming declined to name names but suggested tonight more callups once minor league seasons are over. Said they were short of relievers in AAA
