Jesus

Sanchez

Chisholm has started each of the last three games against a left-handed starter, so this is likely just a routine day off. Vidal Brujan will get the start in center field and hit eighth, which is noteworthy since his defense at third base last week cost the team. The Marlins have other left-handed hitters out of the lineup due to the platoon with Avisail Garcia starting in right field over Jesus Sanchez and Emmanual Rivera in the lineup instead of Nick Gordon.

Sanchez is now on the Brewers’ 40-man roster. The 25-year-old right-hander found his niche this season as a reliever, posting a stingy 1.63 ERA and 64/22 K/BB ratio over 71 2/3 innings between Double- and Triple-A.

The 26-year-old right-hander is one of many intriguing arms in what is shaping up to be a very solid bullpen that the Marlins have assembled. He compiled a 2.83 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 50/18 K/BB ratio over 70 innings of work at Triple-A Nashville in 2013, and is a strong candidate to earn a spot in the bullpen, provided he makes it to camp in a timely manner.

While an under the radar move, this could prove to be a very savvy signing for the Marlins. The 26-year-old right-hander posted an excellent 2.83 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 50/18 K/BB ratio over 70 innings at Triple-A Nashville in the hard-hitting PCL in 2013. He should be a candidate to earn a spot in the Marlins bullpen.

Sanchez enjoyed a successful 2012 season but wasn’t able to catch on with the Brewers out of spring. The 26-year-old converted catcher posted a 2.83 ERA in 70 innings with Triple-A Nashville this season.

Sanchez was the last player from the Bobby Abreu trade still in Philadelphia’s organization. In other words, they officially got nothing other than salary relief from the Yankees in the 2006 swap. Sanchez was originally a light-hitting catcher who was converted to pitching with moderate success. He’s gone 19-13 over the last three years in the minors with a 3.21 ERA. His biggest problem is that he is 23 and has only reached High-A ball. Philly wanted to clear him off the 40-man roster, but he’ll have no problem finding a job with a different organization next season.
