> Redmond said he hopes to get catcher J.T. Realmuto some work this week. Redmond said Realmuto could get a start Thursday when the Marlins finish up a quick two-game set in Tampa with an afternoon game.

I still don't think they send Realmuto back down to Triple-A unless Brantley is gone. No reason to split time between the two.

Why would they release Skipworth?

[dim]

He's awful.

EDIT: Brantly still has a little promise, Barnes belongs in AA, and Realmuto should be in AAA too. And Skipworth can't hit at any level ever.

Yeah he's 24, but we just rid of James for being awful. Skipworth is taking up space that could be used for other developing players with an outside chance of even maybe being mildly good at the majors.

I'd be fine once Realmuto goes back to AAA that Skipworth goes down to AA to backup Barnes though. But the big thing is I don't want Skipworth being the reason we stunt the growth of guys like Realmuto/Barnes/Wallach/etc...

[Miamarlin21]

Am I the only one that has an issue with Realmuto splitting time with Brantley in Triple-A?

[Todd]

Realmuto should have been playing this entire callup. This was just a ridiculous waste.

Salty isn't progressing so he'll likely be transferred to the 15-day disabled list.
