The Marlins filled their fourty man roster with minor leaguers, mostly to protect them from the Rule V draft. The newest members are: Hector Almonte (P), Brent Billingsley (P), A.J. Burnett (P), Jaime Jones (OF), Nelson Lara (P), Bobby Rodgers (P), Nate Rolison (IF), Michael Tejera (P). As a result, the Marlins designated for assignment the contracts of catcher Gregg Zaun, outfielder Bruce Aven, infielders Josh Booty, Kevin Millar, and John Roskos, and pitchers Eric Ludwick and Rob Stanifer. The Marlins must trade the player, assign him to the minors, or release him. Booty is likely to end up back in AAA.
