Baker on DL, Petersen recalled

The Marlins on Saturday placed catcher John Baker on the 15-day disabled list, retro to May 13, with a right flexor muscle strain.

 

Outfielder Bryan Petersen was recalled from Triple-A New Orleans.

 

The Marlins added catching depth on Thursday when Brett Hayes was recalled from Triple-A.

 

In Spring Training, Baker was bothered by a right forearm muscle strain, and he missed considerable time.

 

Ronny Paulino has been playing mroe of late behind the plate. Paulino initially was platooning with Baker.

 

Outfielder John Raynor, who was returned to the Marlins after being a Rule 5 claim with the Pirates, is now playing for Triple-A New Orleans. Raynor had been seeing some action in extended spring in Jupiter.

Intriguing.

Considering Baker's severe lack of power, it doesn't shock me to hear that he was banged up. At least, I hope that the injury was the cause.

 

I am quite comfortable with Paulino being the everyday starter. What a great pickup he was in that trade, and we gave up very little. Props to the FO for that one.

Saying we gave up only "a little" for Paulino would be an overstatement.

This is the guy we gave up to get him. He was obviously well on his way to the hall of fame when we traded him away...

I hope Baker recovers soon, but I'm not too worried about this. I've been hoping that Paulino get more ABs for awhile now. I'm a huge fan of his.

 

I hope the Marlins make him the everyday catcher and just use Hayes on rest days.

 

EDIT: Looks like his RHP splits are worse than I remembered, but I still think he can be used everyday.

We'll remember this day as the day that the Brett Hayes era really began.

With his LHP splits being so awesome, there is a balance point or he would be an all-star. Still, its obvious that Paulino can really hit, and I think he could do much better against righties than he has done so far. Maybe never an all-star, but we could and have done a lot worse than Paulino at catcher.

Hmm so Petersen goes down to get more regular at-bats, then is recalled to fill a spot within a couple of days

I think Paulino will do better against righties as he gets a chance to hit more often against them.

 

I like Paulino's bat better than Baker's (though I think Baker is a good hitter), but The Caveman is not used to playing full time. That worries me.

I think Paulino will do better against righties as he gets a chance to hit more often against them.

 

He has 901 career ABs against them. He's hot right now, sure, but I think its unrealistic to think he's going to magically start mashing RHP.

LOL, maybe as a backup...

Hayes with the start tonight.

Yes, but those at bats have come sporadically.

 

Also, I said "better", not "mash". If he kills lefties and does okay against righties (.230ish), that will be good enough in my book.

Yes, but those at bats have come sporadically.

 

Not really. He started in 2006 and 2007 and was hurt after 40 games as the starter in 2008 before coming here so he's spent as much, if not more time as a full time starter that he has as a backup.

We'll remember this day as the day that the Brett Hayes era really began.

You pretty much saw it Saturday night. He's one of the better defensive catchers in the org (except pretty much an average arm), but dosen't bring much of a bat with him.

Below average, actually. And he isn't good at fielding bunts. I wouldn't be surprised if he got Willinghamed later in his career.

You only "Willingham" someone if you need their bat in the lineup and their glove isn't good enough to play. That is not Brett Hayes.

This.

Misread by me. I thought BroncoBob was referring to Baker.

I thought so too.

 

Either way Hayes is a stop gate right now, nothing more, nothing less.

BroncoBob absolutely was not calling John Baker "one of the better defensive catchers in the org".
