March 28, 201313 yr Valdez will head to New Orleans and Gorkys will as well unless claimed or traded.
March 28, 201313 yr Glad to see coghlans solid spring wasn't ignored just because of gorkys lack of options. Valaika is a surprise but I look forward to seeing what he can bring to the table.
March 28, 201313 yr Interesting choice to go with Valaika, before this spring I had never even heard of the guy. Also glad to see Coghs getting another shot, this is someone who could build some trade value if he sniffs some success due to the fact that when healthy he's done it before.
March 28, 201313 yr We already have had many righty OF, so CC had gained some advantage with good numbers.
March 28, 201313 yr I wish I had known this earlier, I try to get a picture of all players, didn't think Valaika had a chance to make to the team
March 28, 201313 yr Did john maine make the roster? Redmond refused to say he made the team yesterday, but they don't seem to have any other options unless they get something for gorkys.
March 28, 201313 yr Even though he doesn't hit I'm kinda surprised Gorkys didn't make it since he's probably best defensively of the group - especially considering Ruggs' back and Pierre's age. I guess having Kearns on the team takes up that other OF spot. Makes Coghlan the best backup outfielder which is a little iffy but whatever. Maybe he can make something of this.
March 28, 201313 yr Author Did john maine make the roster? Redmond refused to say he made the team yesterday, but they don't seem to have any other options unless they get something for gorkys. He didn't make it officially yet, they may still be trying to acquire someone.

Well, under MLB rule, if you have 5+ years on ML service time don't you have to be told a certain number of days ahead of time whether you made the team? I know they had to tell Kearns, Slowey, etc. a few days ago for that reason, wouldn't have Maine fallen under the same umbrella? That would lead me to believe he did not make the club.
March 29, 201313 yr I don't think it applies if you weren't in MLB the previous season. Ah, that could be it.
March 29, 201313 yr http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/2013-03-28/sports/fl-miami-marlins-spring-training-0329-20130328_1_miami-marlins-kyle-skipworth-chris-valaika In the article it says the Marlins have to make room on the 40-man roster for Chad Qualls, Austin Kearns, Casey Kotchman, Kevin Slowey, John Maine and Valaika. Looks like Juan Rodriguez is under the impression he's made the ballclub.
