Sean West, SP

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Beinfest said left-hander Sean West, who went 8-6 with a 4.79 ERA last season for the Marlins in 20 starts, has done really well in his four starts for Triple A New Orleans since coming back from injury. "He's throwing strikes," Beinfest said of West, who is 3-1 with a 1.90 ERA, 22 Ks and 6 walks in 22 1/3 innings.

Still, manager Fredi Gonzalez said West likely needs more time before being recalled. "Yesterday was only on his fourth start in Triple A," Gonzalez said. "Right now, he's not ready."

Beinfest says starting pitching provides "a lot of hope"

I'm not sure if there is anything to read into this but the next paragraph after this talks about other guys that were relievers that got sent down, including VandenHurk. I just see the actual question posed to Beinfest and Fredi so I don't know if they asked if they would consider calling up West for the 'pen or if they just asked how he was doing.

No to him out of the pen.

No to him being called up unless we are going with a 6 man. Robertson has been decent.

As for West, Rodriguez thinks he'll be ready for a return to the majors soon. "I saw him down in New Orleans," Rodriguez said. "He's been up five times. I think it's a matter of time. Whenever we need him, I think he's ready to come. I think his last start he was in Memphis, his first two innings the pitch count was up, then he made some adjustments and threw six innings, 99 pitches. Overall, his command has been good."
