Who Is Carlos Rosa?
That failed trade the Marlins explored last week involving Mike Jacobs and the Kansas City Royals (still seems like an odd landing place for Jake) involved a minor league pitcher named Carlos Rosa. Mike Berardino revealed that today in his article for the Sentinel. The man who has been on the DL since August 1st seems to be getting mixed reviews. The MinorLeagueBall blog takes a good look at Carlos Rosa.
Rosa went 4-2, 1.20 with a 42/7 K/BB in 45 innings for Double-A Northwest Arkansas this spring. He made two appearances with the Royals and looked quite good in 3.1 innings, fanning three with one run allowed. His Triple-A numbers were less impressive, though not bad at all for the Pacific Coast League: 4.09 ERA with a 44/12 K/BB in 51 innings, 51 hits allowed.
Check out this video of Carlos chucking up a no hitter through eight innings against the Travs.

JD, I am LOVING the new setup. Great idea sticking strictly to the Fish. There just aren’t any good Marlins blogs out there, in my opinion. Site looks great and I am really looking forward to following the Marlins via the Matter.
Great stuff!
BTW Rosa has good stuff (93-95 MPH fast ball) but he’s decent at best IMO. Although it would’ve been nice to have him in the bullpen, it’s not that big of a loss.

Thanks Dude. This new setup gives me the opportunity to still maintain the blog even though I get busy quite often. I project Rosa as a 3rd or 4th starter even if he cracks a starting rotation. I agree, no big loss. Not sure what Kansas needed a Jacobs for anyways.
