June 18, 201016 yr marvelous......hopefully its nothing too serious and he gets back when hes eligible.
June 18, 201016 yr Author Any ideas? Maybe Sean west? West pitched 6 innings yesterday so doubt it. Possibly Scott Strickland, a 40 man spot is available and he's been solid with New Orleans albeit in not many innings.
June 18, 201016 yr 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.

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.

He hasn't pitched in the majors for awhile.
June 18, 201016 yr Judging by stats he'll get rocked up here. He doesn't k many people Career 9.1 K/9 at the big league level, and 9.6 K/9 in his minor league career.

June 18, 201016 yr 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.

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.
June 18, 201016 yr Get well soon Clay! Hopefully Strickland is a boost to the pen, he realistically can't be worse than what's already there? can he?
June 18, 201016 yr Hopefully Strickland can be the one to add some stability to those middle-late innings from the pen. Our bullpen must be up there in terms of most player moves in the league this year?
