I don't really like any Marlins pitchers and I have Josh Johnson and Leo Nunez and wish I could trade the latter. I would hold Nolasco if you think he will come back a different man or trade him to one that thinks that. @James: Well, I think Grey and Rudy placed him with a red flag telling everyone to keep away from him like the plague… or maybe that was just me.

Solid, but I expected more from him against a AAA team. Apparently, the last two runs were scored on what could have been a blooper with two outs. I am not sure, but from the scoreboard, it sounded like that was the case. I assume they will give him one more go before recalling him. I was hoping for a very strong start, which would have given me reason to believe his poor start was truly bad luck (his LD% was so high that the bad luck stuff isn't flying with me). This start gives me some confidence in him, but not enough to pick him up right now. What do you guys think? Nolasco in AAA vs. the Vegas 51s – 8 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, and 7 K.
