Hensley to DL, Strickland promoted

Strickland should've been promoted a long time ago, actually. He probably should've made the team out of Spring Training. For some reason, the Marlins felt it was a better idea to put Jose Veras on the team, despite the fact Strickland outpitched him in Spring Training.

i don't think the FO wanted to admit they were wrong on ALL their reclamation projects

Absolutely. That's what I was saying the week before Opening Day.

 

I'm still perplexed as to why Veras was an early lock for the bullpen. It must have been those Yankee pinstripes.

I'd say Strickland is a reclamation project. He hasn't pitched in the majors for awhile.

I was reading Hensley's comments about the injury, how he tried to pitch through it, but it got worse and his performance on the mound suffered during that time. I know it probably happens to all teams, but since I have tunnel vision, it seems like in recent years a lot of our pitchers have little nagging injuries that they try to work through but always backfires and costs us a few games. I am thinking back to Kevin Gregg, etc. I know baseball players are supposed to be tough and grin and bear it, but you'd think after your first poor performance after an injury, you'd go to the manager and say that it is affecting your performance and you'd rather not penalize the team to save your face. Also, you'd think that if the manager and FO were aware of your injury and saw a repeated poor performance, they'd sit you down and/or DL you faster. Not go out there 3 or 4 times, give up runs, put our backs against the wall then decide it is time to go on the DL.

I have to agree here. The player thinks that he's being selfish is he complains about his injuries and takes himself out, but the reality is that he's being selfish by going out there considerably less than 100% and having his performance suffer (and the team suffer) as a result.

 

Clay's been one of the few bright spots in this bullpen though, so I'm kind of relieved that the main cause of his performance issues are due to injury.
