Posted August 28, 201311 yr With September 1st fast approaching, what players do you want to see come up? The Marlins roster stands at 40, so moves will have to be made to get players like Brian Flynn or someone else not on the 40 man on the roster. Also will need to consider if that Jacksonville maybe in the Southern League playoffs. Of the players already on the roster I would like to see Kyle Jensen promoted to see if he merits a spot. Also I see no need to keep players like Jordan Brown or Gil Velazquez on the roster, those would be my most likely to be moved to make room for players more deserving.
August 29, 201311 yr Probably the standard few bullpen arms (Hatcher, Ames), an extra catcher (Skipworth), and one or two bench guys like Brown and Velazquez. As usual, nothing to be excited about, I'm sure.
August 29, 201311 yr Dietrich .947 OPS in August. Probably should call him up considering you know, Solano and all
August 29, 201311 yr Dietrich .947 OPS in August. Probably should call him up considering you know, Solano and all  I would hope so. But I noticed they have him playing in the Arizona Fall League, so I would assuming he would get some sort of rest. However, I could be wrong...
August 29, 201311 yr I want to see some of our young pitching get a shot once Jose Fernandez gets shut down for the year. That's what has me really excited about this team. I feel like we have the potential to be the next SF Giants in that regard.
August 29, 201311 yr Author Sam Dyson a guy who has been on the 40 man all season, and pitched last season in the majors with Toronto has got promoted to replace Caminero

August 30, 201311 yr Sam Dyson a guy who has been on the 40 man all season, and pitched last season in the majors with Toronto has got promoted to replace Caminero  He has an appalling k-rate in milb.   no, he doesn't. nearly 1:1 k/bb and no where near 1k/inning.
August 30, 201311 yr He has a 4.65 K/9 in 31 AAA innings and 4.90 K/9 in 75.1 innings in AA this season. That goes with a 3.48 BB/9 (AAA) and 2.75 BB/9 (AAA). If he maintained that sub 5 K/9 in the MLB, he'd be bottom 10 in all of MLB for 70 innings. For qualified pitchers, it would be bottom 5. Not good. That's why Polly says it is appalling.
August 30, 201311 yr Aren't we also expecting Coghlan back? Excited to see him at 3B... Maybe he can turn into a player we can actually use. Fingers crossed.

August 30, 201311 yr Is there any reliable catcher with solid offense? Mathis will be fine as a backup. This season in Brantly suffered sophomore jinx. Skipworth's career will be over after the season.
August 30, 201311 yr Is there any reliable catcher with solid offense? Mathis will be fine as a backup. This season in Brantly suffered sophomore jinx. Skipworth's career will be over after the season. We basically have zero catchers in our system that are worth more than nothing unless Brantly can figure things out... I still have a little hope there. Althought I believe it's Austin Barnes that could be promising in a year or two if he isn't terrible defensively.
August 30, 201311 yr Maybe just trying to get realmuto more time. Though they could still play Barnes at 2B
August 30, 201311 yr i think if brantly can work out his kinks he will be solid. Â glad to see dietrich doing well. Â read something from frisaro a while back about solano and dietrich manning second and third next year.

Â Â That's assuming Coghs doesn't take off at 3B, which I hope he does so Dietrich can grab 2B and Solano can sit on the bench.
August 30, 201311 yr Robinson Cano and Brian McCann, totally going to happen. :laughpurple :dancehead
August 30, 201311 yr Brantly has been incredibly bad since being called down (.394 OPS). Hopefully he turns it around, but it's becoming increasingly clear that his 113 PAs in 2012 were a fluke
August 31, 201311 yr Barnes hasn't played in a few days, and I haven't a clue as to why. Â Â Well... he's playing 2B for Jacksonville tonight so don't panic.
