OF Jesus Sanchez also getting the call, per Heyman.

[sports24/7]

Bang! Heyman also says Jesus Sanchez is coming up, too. Guess they’re done with Monte.

[Nick]

sixto being called up for this weekend according to heyman.

Seems like too late, but I'm excited to see him. Also, I wonder if that means maybe Urena or Caleb are not close, seems like weird timing with the Covid guys coming back. Maybe it's exclusively a one-off deal kinda like them calling up Lewin.

btw, I was named Marlins GM last night.

wow jesus sanchez as well. anyone know what the super 2 deadline is? I wonder if that had anything to do with it. Or maybe they just thought we needed a shot in the arm. either way should be a fun few days and hopefully this potential storm coming doesn't fuck anything up next week

- - - - - - - - - -

from what im reading super 2 deadline just passed. that would explain a lot. also would explain other top prospects getting the call the last few days in casey mize, the other tigers SP prospect, joey bart, etc.

im super excited to see jesus sanchez but holy hell what the hell are they gonna do with all these guys once we're all healthy within the next week.

Why is the super 2 deadline, some big fucking secret?

i don't think it is I think people just weren't totally sure when it would be because everything is now prorated and confusing due to the 60 game season.

fuck sandy not traveling with the team because his rehab start got rained out in Jupiter today.

[Nick]

My hopeful Lineup when we're 100%.

1. Villar 2B (begrudgingly, he's gotta get going some time, right?)
2. Rojas SS
3. Anderson 3B
4. Dickerson LF
5. Aguilar 1B/DH
6. Sanchez CF
7. Alfaro C
8. Cooper DH/1B
9. Berti/Sierra/Ramirez RF (Let them battle it out for a couple of weeks, if Sierra is in put him in CF with Sanchez in RF)

[fish16]

id also imagine this is brinsons last couple days with the organization. It would seem to me that jesus sanchez would be only a few day stint right? What do they do when everyone comes back.

C- Alfaro and Cervelli
1b- Cooper and Aguilar
2b- maybe Villar shifts here full time to make room for all the outfielders?/ Berti
SS- Rojas
3b- Anderson
LF- Dickerson/ Joyce
CF- Sierra/ Monte
Rf- Harold/ Jesus Sanchez

That is 14 batters.

- - - - - - - - - -

Harold Ramirez and Jesus Sanchez would be a nice little platoon if we're trying to limit Jesus Sanchez against lefties and ease him in. Then Sierra and Monte splitting time in CF?

[Nick]

Why couldn't we send down Monte? Does anyone honestly believe the ABs he's getting up here are doing him any good?

maybe that's the move just to get him to go down to Jupiter and work on things for a few weeks and get his confidence back a little. I just imagine brinson being gone very soon.

I don't see any scenario where Jesus getting called up doesn't signify the end of Brinson's Marlins career. Unless it's a Lewin-type situation and only planned to be a couple day thing.

[Namaste]

Sixto up 10 days too late

PERFECT

[Nick]

I wonder if Sixto getting called up is a direct reaction to the Sandy news, and only planned to be a one-off.

Yep. Looks like Saturday is Sixto day instead of Sandy day. DH are only 7 innings-to piggyback on Heyman guys are getting "called up" but u might not actually see them on the roster. We can have a 31 man squad but Marlins might be traveling with 35-40 guys. Play 1st game of DH then put guys on taxi squad and call up new guys

Brinson is done the only thing that could save him is he has an option still. Reason guys like Jesus/Sixto are getting call is because on 40 man and they dont wanna expose anyone else to waivers(vets I mean)

The guys who travel with the team will play this week and the Rona guys who dont travel will sit in Miami till 28th so after game tonight should see about 35 guys on roster with 10 or so moving on and off taxi squad

U could see him get 2 starts actually. The team they travel with is with them from Friday to Next Thursday. On 28th is when u will see most of the other Rona guys back

[Nick]

Man 6-9 in the lineup for us tonight is rough.
