Joe Frisaro is reporting that there are grumblings in the clubhouse that Jose Castillo will not make the team.
It’s clear that Jorge Cantu had a great Spring and Dallas McPherson is injured. I’m wondering whether the Fish think Cantu and Alfredo Amezaga will play 3rd and then have Jason Wood backup first. Regardless it’s a bit surprising.
Update: The Marlins just placed him on waivers; we will have to wait and see if someone picks him up; for now he’s still with the team.
MLBTR speculates that the Marlins are looking to trade for another starter. We know Sergio Mitre is out and Scott Olsen is slow to recover but is it worth trading away Mike Jacobs or some younger talent to get one of these guys?
potentially available starters include Kyle Snyder, Kei Igawa, Dave Bush, Claudio Vargas, Jason Marquis, Daniel Cabrera, Matt Morris, Woody Williams, Matt Belisle, Justin Germano, Anthony Reyes, Cliff Lee, Jeremy Sowers, Aaron Laffey, and Gustavo Chacin.
BTW, I don’t buy the salary argument. If the Fish found a meaningful starter who has a multi-million dollar salary, I’m sure ownership would make it’s infamous one-player salary splurge.
Well, it’s now available on a t-shirt in the official Marlins/MLB store: Link
I received one of these t-shirts as a gift. They are awesome.
I would really like to purchase one of these. I have made several attempts but they are always sold out. My finance is a huge baseball fan. He has played his whole life, coached college teams and now coaches at the high school level. Can you help?
