Not a surprise really

[Hotcorner]

Gorkys/Cogs/Kearns for 2 backup OF spots

[canada-marlin24]

I think its time to just let Petersen go. He f***ing sucks in center field and is a AAA hitter. 

 

I though after 2011 that he had found his groove but clearly not. 

[Wild Card]

I don't necessarily care for Gorkys Hernandez, but if Kearns makes the team and he or Coghs don't I will be pissed...

Austin Kearns is quickly becoming the new Wes Helms.

Gorkys cant hit at the major league level either, unfortunately there arent many choices out there, I would go with Kearns and Cogs

Why bother being pissed?  In the end none of these guys are any good.

I don't like to blame person's interest, but Petey should be stop the tweeting and be focus on his own job more.

You spelled "Logan Morrison" wrong.

Helms didn't have to fight for a spot on the roster.

Can we please stop bring up Wes Helms?

I agree, Peterson is old news.  While we are releasing him we can probably still get something decent for Chris Cog.   I can see another very very long slump for him.

[el penguino]

Coghlan has next to no real value.  It's hard to get something decent for a guy who hasn't hit since 2009 and has no position.

[enterthemadness]

Noooooooooooooooooooooo, he has a golden arm, noooooooooooooooooooo.

I'd be down for trading him for a few subs right now. I'm hungry.

It seems like Kearns might not have to, either.

I'm referring to the fact that the Marlins were offering Helms guaranteed major league contracts despite his high level of suckage.  Kearns doesn't have it that easy.

Kearns doesn't have a major league contract, but he's being treated as if he does. 

[el penguino]

The guaranteed money was the most egregious aspect of the Helms situation, though.  He was awful in 2010, especially off of the bench (.114/.188/.182 line in 48 PH PAs--worse than Mike Lamb that year), and yet the Marlins offered him in the summer a guaranteed $1 million extension for the next season.

 

The Marlins haven't even come close to that level of idiocy with Kearns yet.

[el penguino]

And frankly, I think I'd rather see Kearns on the roster over Coghlan, Gorkys, or Petersen.  I don't give much weight to spring training numbers; Kearns has the best recent MLB track record.  I'd guess that the Marlins are thinking the same thing.
