June 15, 200916 yr Marquez Activated from DL BY John Norris (aka JPN) Jeffrey Marquez was activated from the Charlotte DL today. Mike Johnston was placed on the DL to make room for Marquez. Supposedly he had bone spurs in his elbow, which is what has kept him out the past 6 weeks. We’ll have to wait and see whether he starts again or pitches out of the bullpen. Although, I’d question if the DL stint was dubious, considering how he got lit up in the 4 starts he made in April. When a pitcher gets shelled, then is almost immediately placed on the DL, it screams of a head clearing break rather than an actual injury. Of course, I could be wrong.
June 15, 200916 yr Author I'm interested to see if he produces at all when he gets back off the DL. His stuff was very meh all of spring and the big Sox homer in me hopes that Kenny wasn't just shooting us a bunch of malarky when he touted this kids arm and that we see him make some big strides now that he's healthy (if he was in fact hurt).

He WAS a highly touted prospect in the Yankee org if I remember correctly. Usually, there's something to it. Hopefully he can show us.

He was pretty "meh" in the AZ Fall League too when I saw him...

June 15, 200916 yr Good to hear. It would be great if we can get anything from him, even in the bullpen. Edited June 15, 200916 yr by Thunderbolt
