Posted May 7, 201014 yr Mike Lamb was designated for assignment, Bryan Petersen has been promoted to take his roster spot.
May 7, 201014 yr f*** it, start him tomorrow in the leadoff spot. He absolutely cannot be worse than CC and Maybin right now.
May 7, 201014 yr Maybe Stanton to AAA?  I think, just guessing, more likely Maybin to AAA. If not tonight, very soon.
May 7, 201014 yr Maybe Stanton to AAA?  I think, just guessing, more likely Maybin to AAA. If not tonight, very soon. Well, I mean, if that was the plan I don't see why he (or CC) didn't get sent down now. This opens up a spot in RF in AAA, just waiting for a certain player who's SLG is higher than everyone else's OPS.

It could be a decent platoon in RF.
May 7, 201014 yr Author If Petersen gets a few starts and does well, it might come to the point where both Coghlan and Maybin get sent down. You want them to get the ABs but you can't afford to keep having those two massive holes in the line-up. If Petersen can't hit, then maybe we'll see the big boy sooner than we think. The Marlins can't even turn to Bonifacio, because he's sucking in AAA.

May 7, 201014 yr Maybe Stanton to AAA?  Comeback kid, John Raynor could take a one of OF spot. Ah yes, forgot about Raynor. That's a good point.Though with Jason Lane moving to 1B down there (with LoMo injured) there's somewhat 2 OF spots open.

May 7, 201014 yr I thought a while ago with so much on the line the front office is going to start with incremental moves like these but they'll stop at almost nothing to make this team competitive this summer.

May 7, 201014 yr Hopefully Bryan Petersen will put up a good OBP ind of like N. Johnson last year. We know how good Johnson helped cogz so maybe if Petersen gets some starts he can spar things up at the top of the lineup. I thin Petersen was On basing like .380 so far this year.
May 7, 201014 yr I really wonder how much Johnson helped Cogs last year. Not just from hitting behind him but I heard he helped Cogs a lot with how to approach pitchers.
May 7, 201014 yr I'm not concerned WHO they send up or down at this point. Just rattle things up a little bit! I really wonder how much Johnson helped Cogs last year. Not just from hitting behind him but I heard he helped Cogs a lot with how to approach pitchers.  been wondering that same thing myself lately.
May 7, 201014 yr Maybe Stanton to AAA?  I think, just guessing, more likely Maybin to AAA. If not tonight, very soon.  Maybe. But I doubt it. Of course that hinges on what your defintion of "very soon" is. I took it meaning within a few days by the way you wrote it. He's been in 26 of the 28 games. I see last night's sitting and the call up as a head clearing/wake up move. He's going to get more opportunities to either succeed or fail before he is sent down.
May 7, 201014 yr I wonder if it'd have been LoMo if he was healthy   Pure speculation, but I don't think so. What he showed in ST was that he needs alot of work at the plate. Exactly what Gaby showed in ST of '09. And like Gaby in the regular season last year, he may get a couple call ups to get a taste, but he will finish NOLA's '10 season. I really expect his progression and training to mirror that of Gaby's last year. That's not a bad thing.
May 7, 201014 yr Petersen leadoff, Gaby 2nd on Friday do we all think?  Id hate to put this on Fredi, cause Im not one of those guys on here... but Fredi isnt the kind of manager to do this. Usually, someone gets called up to help the team, then gets left on the bench for a week and only sneaks in after an injury or something like that forces Fredi's hand. Plus Petersen has never played in the majors, to Fredi he will be the last guy on the bench. BUT, with that said, i hope im wrong. We need a spark for sure
May 7, 201014 yr Maybin and CC both need to go down. Maybe CC needs a little dose of what Nolasco got last year, look how good it was for him. Him going 0-4 every night isn't helping him mentally.
