Update: LoMo Filed a Grievance Against Marlins

@MarlinsMedia: #Marlins post-game moves: Logan Morrison optioned to triple-A; Wes Helms released

Wow! Didn't see this coming.

No word on who'se coming up yet.

[Mainge]

Woah. Really hate the LoMo move. We're not doing a god damned thing, let him stay.

Wes being gone almost makes up for it though.

[dim]

This would matter if we weren't a zillion games out of first.

Morrison has been god awful this year. Probably deserved being sent down last month. Really aren't many backup plans, but Peterson can probably do just as a good a job in LF.

As for Wes Helms, it's a pretty unimportant move. However, given how much people randomly bitch about him, it'll probably make this thread go 20 pages.

Couldn't be more pissed about the Morrison move.

@LoMoZephyrs

I'm shocked we released Wes Helms, but the move pleases me.

[Erick]

I don't understand the Morrison move at all.

Wes Helms sucks. Goodbye. One of the best moves in Marlins history.

[THE_REAL_MIBS]

Maybe the front office is trying to shake up Morrison by sending him down? I have no idea.

I just wonder who is coming up. We really don't need another outfielder with Petersen, Cameron, Wise and Stanton. And Bonifacio and Amezaga can play out there, too. Like has been said, Petersen is probably going to play everyday in LF. Dominguez is on the DL so he's not coming.

He's around 1 year 30 days of service time right now. Meaning, keeping him up the rest of the year (+/- 45 days) has absolutely no bearing on any arbitration status (Super2 level 120-130 days down the road). The Coghlan move smells like Super2 savings, but there is really no financial motivation here with Morrison.

He was hitting better in August a little bit. I am perplexed.

But rejoice in the Wes Helms experiment finally ending I shall!

whatevz, sounds good to me

Looks like the FO wanted to get a message across.

Looks like the FO wanted to get a message across.

Don't fuck with Hanley?

That is a message I support.

[Valid]

Looks like the FO wanted to get a message across.

Was just gonna say this. Is it possible that this was mostly because of LoMo's comments about Hanley?

[Party]

Not entirely don't fuck with Hanley. More like know your place and shut the fuck up.

[Ramp]

I think it has as much to do with Logan struggling as it does with Logan opening up his yapper.

[Erick]

I think it has more to do with Lomo consistently playing like garbage for awhile now.

Not only offensively, but he clearly needs to work on things in the OF if they play on keeping him there; he's horrible out there.
