May 12, 200916 yr Author Yep. Supposed to be back in June.  K, thanks. Anyone think we'll see him in September?
May 12, 200916 yr Do we have any open 40-man spots? I wouldn't be surprised to see him waived if there's no room for him. I remember rumors when the suspension first happened that the FO was pretty angry with him.

I remember rumors when the suspension first happened that the FO was pretty angry with him. That sucks because before he got hurt and he had the closers role for like two weeks, he was pretty good. I was hoping he'd be an extra arm in case we needed help and that we'd see him sometime this year.
May 12, 200916 yr Owens is pitching in extended spring training right now and may do so for 34 games. The final 16 games of his suspension will be at whatever minor league level the Marlins assign him to.
May 12, 200916 yr Do we have any open 40-man spots? We could transfer Tank to the 60 Day DL, and we have a lot of waive-able players if we need space. David Davidson Jai Miller Hayden Penn Andy Gonzalez Brett Carroll We're fine with the 40 man. The problem comes when Thompson, West, Winters, Morrison, Sinkbiel, Cousins, Raynor, Ceda, and maybe Jeff Allison, Greg Burns, Brad Davis, or Kris Harvey, etc, all have to be added to the 40 man after this season. It's going to be brutal.

It's going to be brutal. Well, I was just thinking about it with Owens. Like I said, there were reports of the FO being extremely angry with him when he first got suspended, I was posing the question if they would even have waived a guy for him. I don't think they would waive Carroll or Penn for him. Maybe not even Miller.
May 12, 200916 yr I remember his 40 innings in AA before we acquired him were outrageous. 40 innings 19 hits and 74-10 SO/BB. Even as a 27 year old in AA he has his shi* working. I doubt after the injury and without help from substances he'll be quite as effective, but i think he's worth waiving some of the junk on our 40-man roster for him.
May 12, 200916 yr Jim Fleming spoke well of him not too long ago. I suspect all is forgiven. Â ''He looked good in spring,'' Marlins executive Jim Fleming said. ''He should be a factor'' this summer.

It's going to be brutal. I'm sure we'll give away enough talent that it won't be an issue. To be honest, there are a number of guys on our 40 man roster that shouldn't be on a major league squad anyway so if the kids are good enough, they'll find room.
May 13, 200916 yr According to a family friend of his that I know, his suspension was a hell of a lot like Manny's. Got a med from a doctor that swore it was legal, wound up being illegal.
May 13, 200916 yr Anyone really want him back after PED's? I'm glad to know you've never made a mistake in your life.
