March 28, 201214 yr Poop #Marlins RHP Jose Ceda out indefinitely with elbow strain. Tommy John surgey a possibility. -Juan C. Rodriguez
March 28, 201214 yr Sucks for Ceda. Although I think LeBlanc was going to get the last spot anyway...
March 28, 201214 yr Sucks for Ceda. Although I think LeBlanc was going to get the last spot anyway... I'm fine with that, but I think I would rather have LeBlanc start the season in AAA as the 6th starter to be called up when needed.
March 28, 201214 yr I am strongly opposed to keeping LeBlanc up with the team as a reliever. Strongly.
March 28, 201214 yr Oviedo if he can be cleared, would be the best option. Right now, there aren't a lot of options on the 40-man, however Ceda will likely be put on the 60-day DL, opening up a spot.
March 28, 201214 yr I'd much rather go after someone who gets released after camp ends than Gaudin. Wish we hadn't given up Jay Buente and Jhan Marinez for nothing over the last year. I'll take young with some sort of upside over crappy Chad Gaudin.
March 28, 201214 yr Gaudin is my least preferred option just because he sucks. I'd prefer to have WeBlanc be the 6th starter, but he might be the most viable option since Oviedo doesn't appear to be ready yet.
March 28, 201214 yr I'd much rather go after someone who gets released after camp ends than Gaudin. It's going to be Gaudin. He "won the job" and "nothing else matters but spring." Or something.
March 28, 201214 yr You mean you don't think Ozzie and all the tactical prowess he brings with him was worth Marinez, Martinez, and 10 million dollars? Sucks about Ceda. It would have been interesting to see what he could do with a proper opportunity.
March 28, 201214 yr I'm gonna be a little more optimistic because this thread is way more negative than I expected... If Ceda is one of those that comes back clearly stronger after this surgery, we could be looking at our definite closer of the future. And considering we've got Bell here for at least three years, this might give Ceda a grand opportunity in three years time. We'll see.
March 29, 201214 yr Wow that's a big setback for ceda who was really starting to come around. Could use jhan marinez right now. I too feel that Leblanc is better off starting in AAA and hopefully Nunez can clear in time as he would be the best option. And capozzi said it doesn't appear serious.

And considering we've got Bell here for at least three years, this might give Ceda a grand opportunity in three years time. We'll see. When guys come back "clearly stronger after [TJ] surgery," it's usually because they worked their butts off; Ceda is a guy who came into camp overweight and is generally a fatload, so I'm not optimistic that he'll be one of those guys.

But what does Clark Spencer say?! :lol

March 29, 201214 yr When the primary complaints from your fanbase are about the 25th man on the roster and the long reliever, you know you have a pretty solid roster heading into Opening Night.
March 29, 201214 yr I'd much rather go after someone who gets released after camp ends than Gaudin. It's going to be Gaudin. He "won the job" and "nothing else matters but spring." Or something. Hence the reason why it's going to be LeBlanc.
March 29, 201214 yr I am strongly opposed to keeping LeBlanc up with the team as a reliever. Strongly. because you want him starting in AAA so he's ready for spot starts you mean? Or something else? doesn't really bother me if he's not starting regularly. Plus it's great to have a guy come in who can give you 3 or 4 innings on the (hopefully rare) occasion when a Zambrano or Nolasco is out of the game early, instead of killing off half the bullpen. We don't have a Hopper around anymore, and while I am not enamored with LeBlanc he could fill a role in the pen. I don't love it but I like other options even less.
