Cousins Optioned to New Orleans

[Miamarlin21]

Now it's between Petersen, Kearns and Rowand.

Marlins optioned OF Scott Cousins to Triple-A New Orleans.
Cousins entered camp with a good shot at a reserve job but batted just .147/.237/.206 with 15 strikeouts over 34 at-bats. He'll be up at some point this season.

Gotta think Kearns is the one to break camp with the team at this point. But can anyone comment on whether his production has been against major league quality players?

[Miamarlin21]

I think so too. They do not have a power right-handed bat.

so you're ruling Coghlan completely out?

I think the organization wants him to play everyday. And I would agree with that.

Hopefully at 2B, no matter how bad the defense is. If Neil Walker can do it.
