Spring Training Notes

[TealMonster08]

This is turning into the Marisnick Spring play-by-play thread.

@ChrisCotillo: Hearing Reed Johnson will make #Marlins. Has opt-out date on minor league deal tomorrow.

Twitter

Very well deserved

[Bobbob1313]

Does anybody have the number of times Hech was thrown out on the basepaths last season? It seems like the number should be unbelievably high.

7 times, led the team

[Big Z]

@Manny_Navarro: #Marlins sending reliever Arquimedes Caminero down to Triple A despite stellar spring. Capps and Roe also headed down

Twitter

Surprised by Caminero.
--------------------
Per Manny Navarro (Miami Herald), Wigginton was released. It also looks like Henry Rodriguez might be making the team over Caminero, which I find absolutely ridiculous.

So we traded our starting first baseman for a guy who can't even make the bullpen in spring training? Awesome.

Dive In!

To be fair, it's a pretty deep bullpen. I'd rather have him in New Orleans pitching regularly than have him here for mop-up duty.

[BigGameFish]

My second thought was he'll probably be up after the trade deadline when we move Marmol and Rodriguez and maybe Cishek.
--------------------
Maybe not Capps fault we acquired a bunch of bullpen trade fodder

[Big Z]

All indications point towards Furcal starting season on DL because he doesn't want to rush things and miss an extensive amount of time. In my opinion, Dietrich deserves the start at 2B, but we will see what Red decides.

--------------------
There's so much there, I really don't know where to start.

Ya he can't even make a pretty good pen. What is Capps a 23 yr old who make almost nothing and is working on a new delivery that our staff thought would help him?

Come on-he will be up as soon as the trade deadline is over or an injury,Marmol and Cishek are both gonna be gone and if Rodriguez struggles with command he will be gone too

People need to realize our pitching isn't that bad at all. Just young guys(rotation) who need innings

Bigger Question is what 3 guys are gone from the 40 man?Reed Johnson,Slowey,Rodriguez

Bogusevic or Dobbs?
Lucas or Solano?
Michael Brady?

Still hear they are shopping Hand OR Turner too

[Jay]

Dobbs only has 13 ABs so far. Could be a good sign

The Dobbs issue is Loria wants him here and his contract is 1 million or so. Hard to pay that much for a guy off the roster-even more so for us. If our owner was anybody else Dobbs would have been gone already

[Miamarlin21]

Could have sworn Caminero was out of options as his contract was purchased in November of 2010. I guess him missing an entire season gave him an option back (which I have seen happen before.)

Pick two of Brady, Dyson, Sanchez, and Hand/Turner will surely be traded sooner than later for the third.

They don't bounce Bogusevic after being traded for and Dobbs sticks because of money. They punt the last few arms.
