August 26, 200719 yr The Marlins have filled six of their seven allotted Arizona Fall League slots. The players headed west for the five-week, six-team circuit that runs from Oct. 9 through the Nov. 17 championship game: catcher Brett Hayes, outfielder Jai Miller, infielder Chris Coghlan, and pitchers Scott Nestor, Craig Molldrem and Ross Wolf. The Marlins' contingent will play for the Peoria Saguaros. Triple-A Albuquerque pitching coach Rich Gale will serve in the same capacity with the Saguaros.

August 26, 200719 yr interesting on the offensive end.... not so much on the pitching Who will be the lucky #7? I'd like to see Cousins, Morrison, McDougal or Burns get the call
August 26, 200719 yr interesting on the offensive end.... not so much on the pitching Who will be the lucky #7? I'd like to see Cousins, Morrison, McDougal or Burns get the call It seems like with the exception of Coghlan, their not dipping below AA for the AFL. Have they invited anyone from Greensboro to the AFL before?
August 26, 200719 yr Highly doubt they would send a young guy If they would it might be Daniel Garcia down in Greensboro,I know the brass is high on him but he needs to work on his fielding ALOT!! Doubt Morrison,Cousins,Burns All have played alot already this year and Morrison and Burns both look they could use some rest instead of more baseball More than likely #7 would be a Marceaux,Kris Harvey,or Spike I would like it to be Daniel Garcia or better yet Jose Campusano (Not sure if he will back tho in time)
August 28, 200719 yr They got the AFL rosters up on BA Florida is sharing a team with Philly,Det,SD,LAD Pitching on this team is not that strong with Orenduff and Greg Miller of LA,Savery who was a 1st Round Pick, and Jair Jurrjens of Det but doubt he goes if injury is still there Looks like Brett Hayes will be catching alot, Chris Coghlan should also play alot at 2B but Check out this OF WOW!!!

October 12, 200719 yr i am - i love the AFL also - if you are looking to catch the NLCS game tonight check stubhub - can get into the building for $9+ plus fees - good seats in the uppers behind home plate for $17 + fees lot's of good bars, restaurants, hotels over by the peoria sports complex - i always recommend the la quinta - usually under $100 a night and can stumble to and from surprise stadium and all the bars/restaurants
October 14, 200719 yr 10/13 update... Brett Hayes: 0 for 3 Jai Miller: 0 for 3 (1 BB, 2 SO) Chris Coghlan: 2 for 3 (1 BB) The bats on the league season... Brett Hayes: 5 for 11, 2 R, 0 RBI, 2 BB, 1 SO (two 2B, one 3B) Jai Miller: 3 for 17, 0 R, 2 RBI, 3 BB, 8 SO (one 2B) Chris Coghlan: 3 for 5, 0 R, 0 RBI, 1 BB, 0 SO (two CS)
October 26, 200719 yr AFL bat stats as of 10/25 Coghlan continues to blister the desert... .406 (13-32), 3 R, 5 RBI, 3 BB, 2 SO, SB (0 for 3) -- .916 OPS (.447 OBP) Hayes, has cooled off a bit as he has a couple hitless games. But from what I understand he is hitting the ball hard and playing well.. .242 (8-33), 4 R, 3 2B; 1 3B, 4 BB, 7 SO Jai completes the desert trifecta and has also been showing his growing power at the plate... .267 (12-45), 3 2B; 1 3B; 1 HR, 8 RBI, 2 R, 4 BB, 15 SO (ouch) The pitching we sent over has been dismal at best, with Nolasco leading the way allowing 7 ER in 11.2 IP. Scott Nestor has allowed 4 ER in 5.1 IP, and Molldrem is holding a ridiculous 11 ER in 6 IP.
October 26, 200719 yr Nolasco update from the AFL... MIAMI -- Some life has returned to Ricky Nolasco's fastball. Pitching for the Peoria Saguaros in the Arizona Fall League, Nolasco's fastball was clocked recently in the mid 90s, according to his agent, Matt Sosnick. Nolasco, one of four Florida rookies to reach double-digits in wins in 2006, had an injury-interrupted '07. Twice he went on the disabled list with inflammation in his right elbow, and he finished up the season pitching at Triple-A Albuquerque. At the Fall League, the Marlins are looking for Nolasco to log some lost innings. After some initial soreness from inactivity, Sosnick said of Nolasco, "Now he's throwing in the mid-90s." In four AFL starts, Nolasco still is showing signs of rust. He suffered the loss on Thursday night, giving up three runs over three innings while throwing 45 pitches. He is 0-1 with a 5.40 ERA for Saguaro, and on the positive side, he has struck out 10 in 11 2/3 innings. http://florida.marlins.mlb.com/news/articl...sp&c_id=fla

November 1, 200719 yr Nolasco had a nice outing today against Team USA (pretty solid lineup): 5 IP, 1 H, 0 BB, 4 K, 0 R. 54 pitches, 32 strikes. Only thing I noticed was a lot of fly ball outs (half infield pop-ups.) 10 FO/1 GO. AFL totals: 16.2 IP, 14 H, 3 BB, 14 K, 3.78 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, .229 BAA.
