April 18, 200818 yr Marlins' Gardner goes on disabled list Posted on Fri, Apr. 18, 2008 BY CLARK SPENCER cspencer@MiamiHerald.com The Marlins have placed right-handed reliever Lee Gardner on the 15-day disabled list with elbow inflammation. Taking Gardner's place on the roster is right-handed pitcher Doug Waechter, who was selected from Triple A Albuquerque. The Marlins transferred right-handed pitcher Sergio Mitre to the 60-day disabled list.
April 18, 200818 yr why don't we call up a younger pitcher who actually has upside Because we don't want to rush them. But...BAH!
April 18, 200818 yr I'm surprised Joe Nelson didn't get the call. But I guess if they wanted a long man, Waechter made sense.
April 18, 200818 yr Big loss. Weren't you the same guy who said "Gardner sucks" on last night's gamethread? :blink:

April 19, 200818 yr hope to have Gardy back and healthy soon, he hadn't looked sharp and now we know why. He was a huge part of last years bullpen and he undestands his role as set-up. Also a good call on Waechter he pitched fairly well in ST and his big league experience doesn't hurt. As for rushing or not rushing young arms up like Volstad or others I'm sure the FO doesn't want to start the arbitration clock running.
April 19, 200818 yr why don't we call up a younger pitcher who actually has upside The track record of young pitchers with talent rushed up to the majors isnt that good . From 2006-2008 , we have have Johnson , Sanchez , Nolasco , Mitre all on the DL for long peroids of times . Let the talent in the minors build up there arm strength and learn how to pitch .
April 19, 200818 yr why don't we call up a younger pitcher who actually has upside Waechter was a fairly highly rated prospect and may have some upside left, plus he has experience. It's really not a bad call at all.
April 20, 200818 yr Why can't players get it though their thick skulls....that they should seek medical help when they are injured. It hurts the team when they play injured and they hurt themselves by making their injury worse and messing up their numbers. Yes, I know they do it so that they won't lose their roster spot, but please......
