Marlins Eyeing Will Ohman, Chad Cordero
According to MLB.com's Joe Frisaro, the Marlins continue to have interest in free agent lefty Will Ohman. Back on February 16th, ESPN's Jerry Crasnick said Ohman had offers in hand from the Marlins, Padres, and Pirates. The Pirates are still involved, while the Padres are seen as a long shot. Ohman doesn't figure to get more than $1MM as the lefty reliever market continues to drag.
Frisaro adds that the Marlins were one of about 15 teams watching Chad Cordero's recent workout. Frisaro's read on the audition:
The reports are Cordero likely won't be ready until perhaps the second half. His fastball was clocked around 80 mph, and the ball wasn't coming out of his hand like it did when he was healthy pitching for Washington.
Cordero's agent Larry Reynolds, however, suggested his client would be at "full tilt" sometime in March.

Yeah, last time I saw Chad Cordero pitch he was barely even breaking 80 against the Mets. Something definitely looked wrong, and short after that he was on the shelf. 05 and 06 seem like a longgggggggg time ago.

If cordero can get back to his old form (his pre-surgery form) and the Marlins pick him up, it will be the ultimate slap in the face for Jim Bowden.
I've havent like bowden (even wiht the Dunn signing) since he and the ownership of the Nats treated Cordero like he was worthless

WILL OHMAN WATCH 2k9!. We had Will Ohman watch 2k8 at the trade deadline. Cordero's velocity was down last year, he's just done.

Cordero's velocity was down last year, he's just done. Baseball has no secrets - done.
