The real issue is that his 30 day rehabMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09265292606548843859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256268100133425608.post-6594543692634856702009-08-14T16:25:04.313-04:002009-08-14T16:25:04.313-04:00Marte is on the 60-day DL.

DRob is the only guy out there with options that they'd consider - because Alf and Hughes aren't going anywhere - but I can't see him going down right now either.<br /><br />Depending upon how Mitre pitches this weekend, he might be a candidate to get DFA'd for Marte. Otherwise, the only option I see is sending Pena down until rosters expand.

We did feel that Melancon and Robertson should be able to contribute in a big way at some point. We had high hopes for Aceves, Bruney, and Coke. The surprise has definitely been Phil Hughes.
