Jake Marisnick, not in @zephyrsbaseball lineup tonight, is expected to join #Marlins Mon. Yelich will head to DL

I thought it was reported that Yelich was planning on returning soon? I guess not...

SomethingFishy was right, Yelich isn't beefcake enough.

Well isnt that fucking great. Right as Yelich was getting hot.

Marisnick has been better but his numbers are not great at AAA. Hopefully its not more than 15 days and Saltalamacchia is back this week.

Wow, ridiculous. Marisnick is probably the fourth most deserving player capable of playing left field. Should be Jensen, Bour, even Canha. I don't like this move even a small bit.

Will Redmond pull a Realmuto and have Johnson start while Marisnick rides the bench?

With any other manager, you don't even have to ask that question, but with #RedmondThings, who knows?

I don't think Bour would do well in the OF. Marisnick has been hot lately and is much more of a prospect than Jensen or Canha.

Ouch, not having Yelich and Deits in the lineup. Both superior in getting on base and with extra base power.

With our current lineup the pressure on Stanton, McGehee, Jones and Ozuna to pretty much generate 99% of the run scoring will really be ampted up.

Neither Jensen nor Canha are prospects. Jensen in particular is pretty crappy.

That said, I do like Canha as a bench bat at some point.

I think that the Marlins should bring up Brent Keys. Has he gotten an extra base hit yet? Last I checked, he didn't have any.

Keys has 30 hits...28 singles, a double, and a triple. Slugging a scorching .289.

How did he not make Baseball America's top 10?

I dont know. We should ask Wild Card, who IIRC was Brent Keys biggest fan.

Who cares about prospect status? I'd rather have the guy that's going to help now. Jensen, Bour, and Canha would all be better options for the next 15 days than Marisnick.

 

Oh and Kyle Jensen is hitting .289/.354/.498/.851 this year with 11 HR and 46 RBI so far. That's far from crappy.

Bour is a stretch, but trying to get his bat in the lineup is more the idea. By far the best offensive option. Garrett Jones has also had quite a bit of experience playing OF, BTW, if you aren't comfortable with Bour out there.

See, this is where you get into trouble and why people give you so much grief. You cant look at what a guy is doing as a 26 year old at New Orleans in the PCL and ignore the rest of his career.

And you can ignore that he's in triple-A, the highest level of professional baseball that's not the major leagues, and that at age 26 most hitters are beginning to "figure things out". Wasn't Ryan Howard a 26 year old rookie?

You're both on the right and wrong side of this argument.

 

Kyle Jensen is not going to be a .290 hitter, Spike is right about that. He's got a career average of .266 (.263 in AAA, too), and strikes out a lot.

 

However, Wild Card is correct in the sense that Jensen has power [thus why he threw the home run number up there, I imagine] - each level, he's had at least 18 homers [and the year he hit just 18 was in Greensboro, I might add] - since then, 27 [A+ and AA], 24 [AA], and 28 [AA and AAA]. Currently with 11 right now, add in 60 more games [132, career high], and he's right about with his career norm (22). So, he could hit for power, at the very least.

 

And Howard was a 25 year old rookie, but that's just splitting hairs on that aspect - he was also blocked by Jim Thome for a couple years.

I don't know enough about Jensen to dispute your main point, but while AAA is officially the highest level that's not the majors, most teams have their top prospects at AA and fill up the AAA roster with guys who can fill in on the big league club in a pinch. Spot starters, extra bullpen arms, extra outfielders, etc. Guys like Chaz Roe, Alex Sanabia, Elih Villanueva, Brian Bogusevic. Also playing in the PCL is kind of like playing all of your games at Coors Field.

You have to remember that Wild Card doesnt believe that Coors Field is a beneficial park to hitters.

This is also some times a misconception. Javier Baez is a prime example, dude raked double-A and has struggled terribly in triple-A. Just because there are top prospects in double-A doesn't mean the talent level is better.

This is one of the worst things that you do. It's a logical fallacy. You pretend that one thing is likely to happen because it has happened in rare instances in the past.

 

I honestly suggest that you read and study a list of common logical fallacies, because never in my life have I seen one individual guilty of using so many of them.

Not to mention Howard absolutely destroyed the minor leagues before coming up and so is not remotely comparable.

I heard he also destroys Subways Big Philly Cheesesteaks.
