just after being swept by the Giants, the Marlins designate Mike Lamb for assignment and called up Bryan Petersen from AAA. Lamb went 4-18 in 18 games.
Petersen gives the Marlins another outfielder to plug in the lineup while Coghlan and Maybin are struggling. The move could also setup an opening for newly signed Doug Mientkiewicz, who will join AAA in the next few days.
Oh… and Mike Stanton hit a 500-foot homerun.
Chris Coghlan and John Baker are on Twitter updating their followers on their time visiting the troops in Iraq. Coghlan can be found @Cogz4Christ and Baker is known as @manbearwolf. Baker is also providing detailed updates on his website http://manbearwolf.blogspot.com/.
Looks like Chris Coghlan is on his way to the Majors. Coghlan will take Anibal Sanchez’s spot on the roster and will likely play second, third and outfield. The Fish need to kick start their offense and some of the biggest gaps are at second (Uggla), third (Bonifacio) and the entire outfield.
