4/13 - 4/19 Minor League Game Thread

Or we could bring Telis up and use him as he would be successfully used as a platoon guy with Bour. But thats just me being ridiculous thinking we should utilize a guy's strength when we gave up an asset to acquire that guy.

Fucking Peters broke his left hand in that game. Our for a while. Awesome.

Broke his thumb. On brightside atleast he should be around in 2018 instead of dealt for a rental

Three minor league pitching signings for depth by the Marlins last week:

-RHP Garrett Cortright: Released by the O's organization March 28. Cortright played in four different levels of the Orioles organization last year, spending his most time at A+ and AA. Originally a 40th round pick in 2013, he had a cumulative ERA of 3.28 last year in 34 relief games. He struck out 36 in 49.1 innings.
-RHP Nick Neumann: Neumann was let go by the Pirates on March 21. He was a 28th round pick in 2014. Last year at the A+ level, Neumann was 1-0 with a 2.98 ERA in 29 games. 42.1 IP, 46 hits, 9 walks, 33 Ks was his line.
-LHP Daniel Schlereth: He was released by the Cardinals on March 25. Schlereth was a first round draft pick of the Diamondbacks way back in 2008. He has pitched in 94 major league games, with 91 strikeouts in 93 innings. Last year in AA, he was 0-2 with a 4.32 ERA. He threw 16.2 innings, gave up 18 hits, walked 13 and struck out 11.

-Released was 3B Javier Lopez. Still just 22 years old, Lopez spent 2016 with A- Batavia. He hit .221 with 0 homers and 12 RBIs. He has been in the Marlins organization since 2012.

Worley has replaced Nicolino as the first guy who is going to come up if we need a starter. Looking at his career stats, i dont remember him being as effective as his career stats have shown. Telis also should be up here already.

[dim]

While it's good that Hech has gotten healthy, I absolutely don't want him taking the starting spot away from Rojas.

The AAA team isn't all that bad. Even with call ups/send downs I think the team is good enough to be a playoff squad. Not sure I can say that about any other Marlins minor league squad.

See this is what gets me about us,we sign 3 pitchers who are minor league depth in AA/Hi A only. What is the point when we already have a logjam of guys? Instead of signing Schlereth for AA just move Ben Holmes up

Thats the reason they signed him. They liked him for awhile just didnt wanna pay his contract. If someone struggles or gets blister u DFA Despaigne or Gonzalez and add him

Telis can hit but his issue is at 5'8 and just really started to learn 1B where does he play?

Im not all that worried about Telis' defense at 1b, because as a platoon guy with Bour the dropoff would not be significant because bour is pretty bad defensively as well. Telis has played a little 1b in his career so im cool with that.

Dustin Beggs with back to back nice starts. 11 IP 1 ER, 11 K's to 2 BB's. 16th round pick this past draft. Was listed as the 318th best prospect in that draft. Had a solid career as a starter at Kentucky.

It's funny the team has put Ben Holmes back as a starter in A+ ball after taking him out of the starting role last season. They have no idea what to do with him. His mlb picture also has his eyes closed. He'll reach the majors by age 30 at this rate.

This year is the second year in a row that Austin Nola has been demoted to Jacksonville from NOLA. He's not a great player but I enjoyed the coincidence.

Hope Peters is alright.

Demoted cause he is learning how to catch. In other words minor league catching depth now but still can't hit

Holmes is the best-no clue what they are doing with him even tho wherever they pitch him he looks great. They can't promote him to AA cause no spots open(even tho 5 guys 28 and older) and they just signed 2 more!!

Reminds me about like 8 years ago when we had a guy gonna say either Corey Madden or Jeff Gogel. Had like 100K's in 50 innings(was unhittable) and the next year he was still in HiA and hurt his arm. Finally got better and we never promoted him past AA
