Florida Bullpen

MiamiHerald.com 06/02/2006 German expected to be demoted

The Marlins are adding two relievers today, Carlos Martinez and Taylor Tankersly.

Joe Girardi stated a week or so ago that he is going to give his young players opportunites to demonstrate their abilities at the top levels. In regards to the bullpen, this means closing.

Carlos Martinez get a chance and given his pre-season deep sleeper status will likely make him be a favorite amongst the Roto-cognoscenti to nab a portion of the job.

However, do not overlook Tankersley. He was unhittable at AA Carolina - 28.1 IP 11 hits, 14 BBs and 40 Ks and no HRs.

He could do in Florida what Broxton is doing in LA - successfully dominating as a middle reliever. Or more.
