Second round of cuts


Joe Capozzi @joecapMARLINS

#Marlins make 9 moves: Option Reed, Sanabia, Hand, Jenson to NOLA; Opt. Dyson, Olmos, Ozuna to Jax; re-assign Smith & Gimenez to Min.Lg camp
--------------------
And the 5th starter competition begins to thin...

##Marlins transaction: Bryan Petersen reassigned to minor league camp. 47 players remain in ML camp

Doesn't really change much.

It seems like Turner might not make the team. I think Slowey is going to make it.

[Miamarlin21]

If he does, then we won't have a long reliever. Assuming we carry 12 pitchers:

Nolasco
Eovaldi
Alvarez
LeBlanc
Slowey

Cishek
Dunn
Rauch
Webb
Ramos?
Jennings?
Qualls?
Albaladejo ?
Talbot?

[HUGG]

Couldn't Sanabia do that?


Oh we optioned him already

[emkayseven]

I'd guess your first three question marks.

[AdamRavs]

I would be surprised if Turner isn't on the team. They will give him every chance to stay up with the club. Esp cause looking at that rotation makes me wanna puke.

[emkayseven]

He's 21. He's already been rushed and he doesn't look ready. Let him take his lumps in AAA.

FWIW he's a year older than Jose Fernandez. It's not like we're talking about a prospect or suspect situation. The tigers rushed him, that doesn't mean we have to.

Doesn't the clock continue to run even if we demote him? At his point I just don't want him to be another Andrew Miller.

Also we're gonna suck what's the diff if he takes his lumps in the bigs or in AAA?

[tjfla]

He has a ML Contract so the clock really doesnt matter. I looked today and it says he is making 1.175 mil this year and has 1 million dollar TEAM options for 14 and 15

More than likely if he is sent down that he will be recalled once we need a #5 starter. Really tho he just needs innings,no matter if its in ML or AAA

On another note,Chone Figgins has been released
