#Marlins moves: Casey Kotchman on 15-day DL (retro to 4/4); Kyle Skipworth recalled. Skipworth will wear #53

Looking forward to seeing him go 2/10 with 2hr and 8k

[Miamarlin21]

Both Vs righties, of course.

I'm going home to change into all black, for today is certainly a day or mourning

If there's any positive side to this, it's that he'll now begin his descent into a negative WAR player instead of just having no WAR at all.

(I'm hoping he does well)

I'll say he puts up something better than Smoak's .650 OPS last year.

Or Beckham too right.

Cause we're doing a thing of guys drafted after him?

[Mainge]

I'm just ribbing MK7 cause really wanted Smoak over Skip.

[emkayseven]

Meanwhile our catcher is Rob Brantly, but our 1B is Greg Dobbs with a backup of either Olivo or Kearns.

You still wouldn't rather have Smoak?

[Mainge]

He's been pretty terrible. I'd pick none of those.

[emkayseven]

Oh, okay. We'll pass on our first round draft pick.

[Mainge]

Oh, okay. We'll pass on our first round draft pick.

That's not what you asked. I'd rather we chose neither of them. Smoak isn't better than any of our first base options. Skipworth also sucks but at least his terrible bat is at C and not 1B.

I would've rather seen Skipworth start the season in the majors and not sign Olivo. I mean Mathis was only supposed to be out a month.

[Mainge]

They did it so they wouldn't have two LHH catchers.
