Veras, Bonifacio Out; Carroll and Leroux in

BC is for me

I want to rep the FO for these moves

If this "win or else" mandate means they act a month earlier than they would have in the past (as they did here), then I'm all for the "win or else" mandate.

Joe Veras, who was designated for assignment on April 14, cleared waivers and he was outrighted to Triple-A New Orleans on Friday.

The move means the veteran right-hander remains in the organization.

"We'll see him some time again this year," manager Fredi Gonzalez said.

A non-roster invitee to Spring Training, Veras made the Marlins Opening Day roster, and he initially was in a late innings setup role.

But he struggled throwing strikes, and after four appearances, his ERA was 15.43, although he had a win. Veras allowed eight runs in 4 2/3 innings, and he struck out five while walking four.

"Sometimes it is just about getting people out," Gonzalez said.

In Spring Training, Veras was throwing hard, showing a 96 mph fastball.

"We liked his velocity and movement," Gonzalez said. "I'm glad he cleared waivers. We'll see him again."

Ugh... I don't like the fact that they expect to see him again.

We liked his velocity

Really? Velocity? We ignore crap because of velocity? That's so surprising!

No wonder Lindstrom was here for so long.

They also liked his movement.... it says so in the next two words. He sucks but I think that is unfair

The only movement Veras has relates to his bowels.

I'm sure if we scrounge we can find something complementary from the organization about Bonifacio's "approach."
