[HUGG]

#Marlins Derek Dietrich was reinstated from the 15-day DL, and optioned to New Orleans.

he'll be back in 5 days

[HUGG]

Maybe.

[HUGG]

They'll send him to instructional league to work on his defense.

[Mainge]

He needs to be up by Sunday to be eligible for playoffs, correct?

[HUGG]

Yep, has to be on the active roster, disabled list, bereavement list or suspended list as of midnight on August 31st
--------------------
Actually, not really:

Generally, a post-season eligible player who is on an MLB Disabled List (7-day, 15-day, or 60-day) at the conclusion of the MLB regular season can be replaced on his club's LDS, LCS, or World Series Active List (25-man roster) by any player (regardless of position) who was in the club's organization as of midnight (Eastern) on August 31st, including players acquired from another organization prior to midnight on August 31st and minor leaguers who were not on the club's MLB 40-man roster at that time.

we'll have injured players (Jose, etc), so we'd still be able to use Dietrich if we wanted

"Generally" is because it technically has to be approved by the commissioner's office

Well gotta work on that 3B defense since Kike Hernandez is our Starting 2B next year right?

[HUGG]

Yes

This seems so much like childish playing favorites, and hurt feelings. It can't be though, this is professional baseball, right?

Right?



RIGHT??????

[marlinsfan24]

I really hope he files a grievance. Frisaro's reason for Dietrich not being called up was because he was hurt most of the year and they see Kike as their second baseman next season. So dumb, like most of his explanations defending this franchise.

[Bobbob1313]

at the very least, he's a lefty bat off the bench with some pop.
--------------------
I guess they get to squeeze him out of around $60k or so?
