Lamb DFA'd, Bryan Petersen Recalled

Tomorrow, designating Mike Lamb for assignment, recalling Bryan Petersen.

Via twitter.

My question is why Petersen?

[Bobbob1313]

Because with Lamb being DFA'd you don't lose the 40 man spot anyways and he's getting on base in AAA.

Fuck it, bat him leadoff tomorrow.

Weird move. I guess Maybin MLB roster spot is in jeopardy

Fredi just called him Ryan Petersen in the postgame.

After Thursday night's loss to the Giants, the Marlins announced they are designating Mike Lamb for assignment, and selecting the contract of Bryan Petersen.

Petersen, who was at Triple-A New Orleans, was added to the 40-man roster, in place of Lamb, who had been the lefty bat off the bench.

A left-handed hitter, Petersen enjoyed a strong Spring Training, and he is an option to bat at the top of the order.

The announcement was made on Thursday, and Petersen will join the team in Washington on Friday.

Fish Tank

I still don't get this move. Is Petersen going to play everyday? If so, who is getting benched? If not, why call up a prospect to pinch hit?

[Bobbob1313]

Well, someone had to move from the OF to make room for Stanton in Nola.

Brightside: Boner wasn't called up

joecapMARLINS Don't be surprised if Bryan Petersen starts in RF, and Cody Ross moves to CF to spell slumping Cameron Maybin. #Marlins

So we're just going to make Maybin a bench warmer and right handed pinch hitter behind Helms and BC? This still doesn't make any sense.

[Bobbob1313]

I think that just says tomorrow.

Maybin needs some time off.

[Metes]

I mean, he can't do much worse

[Ramp]

love me some BGiles-lite

[Party]

More like the rest of his career.

Amirite?

[Mainge]

BC should get the nod in right.

[Ramp]

maybe BC can get a gold glove in just like 45 appearances like Rafa Palmeiro did at 1b years ago

[Metes]

Only if he points
