Dan Meyer outrighted, Jhan Marinez selected

The Marlins outrighted Dan Meyer to Triple-A New Orleans. To take his spot on the roster the team selected the contract of Jhan Marinez from Double-A Jacksonville.

Meyer was recalled on July 9 and only saw action in one game on the 10th against the Diamondbacks. In that game he pitched a scoreless eighth, giving no hits and walking one. Not sure why the quick turnaround to send him back to NOLA. Maybe his calf is bothering him, maybe they spotted something in his pitching they didn't like, maybe he was just a band-aid for the bullpen while the team was on the long road trip. Whatever is the case, he is no longer on the roster.

Jhan Marinez is a 21 year-old righty who has been in the pen all year in the minors. He started the season in Jupiter but quickly made his way to Double-A. In Double-A his numbers were: 15.2 IP, 9 H, 2.30 ERA, 11.25 K/9 and 4.145 BB/9. So he has a live arm, it will be interesting to see how he handles the jump to the majors.

Welcome aboard Jhan.

With all these kids coming from the Jacksonville Suns, am going to have to buy tickets to their game when am in Jax next week

Got to see what all the Jacksonville thing is all about. I hear they have a top notch AA team, been wining lots of championships.

What's more frustrating than being a Marlins and Orioles fan? Eye surgery???

Most of our top prospects seem to spend more time in AA than in NOLA

I’ve always wondered why…

Chris Coghlan is NLRoY 2009 (that's a +1 for me!)

AAA is more of spare parts team for most organizations

I know a lot of people wanted Stanton to have some AAA at bats but it probably wouldn’t have made a difference. The pitching in AA might be more difficult than AAA to be honest.
