Marlins Designate Jarlin Garcia, Jose Quijada

By Jeff Todd | February 3, 2020 at 4:34pm CDT

The Marlins announced today that they have designated southpaws Jarlin Garcia and Jose Quijada for assignment. Their roster spots will go to Brandon Kintzler and Matt Joyce, whose signings are now official (see here and here).

Young hurlers continue to fly off the Miami 40-man roster. The club vowed to compile a strike-throwing relief corps entering the 2020 season, but it remains surprising to see so many pitchers flowing out — most of them to this point landing on other MLB rosters via claim or trade.

Garcia, 27, is entering his final pre-arbitration season after working to a 3.02 ERA over 50 2/3 innings in 2019. He managed only 6.9 K/9 against 2.8 BB/9, but did post a 46.9% groundball rate and had success at preventing home runs (0.71 per nine, 7.8% HR/FB). Garcia was exceptionally difficult for MLB hitters to square up; he held them to a 31.8% hard-hit rate that sat in the 84th percentile among pitchers leaguewide.

The 24-year-old Quijada had struggled quite a bit last year in his first taste of the majors. He was bombed for a 5.76 ERA in 29 2/3 innings, allowing 10 long balls on a whopping 34.5% HR/FB rate. But Quijada also showed he could get MLB hitters to swing and miss, as he has in the upper minors, by producing a 14.0% swinging-strike rate.

      Thanks for stopping by Peter Angeleos.

      All jokes aside. Guarantee you root for foreign born players that play for your favorite MLB NBA or NHL team. Possibly NFL too.

    Garcia doesn’t have the track record that Kintzler does, but then Kintzler’s track record in my opinion is spotty. Am I completely off base suggesting that between the two, Garcia is the more useful and maybe even better pitcher?

        I’m not so sure about that, I mean he did show some potential in 2018. In fact, before the trade I was actually expecting him to put up a strong fight for a bullpen spot, especially after a down year that included the Pressly trade, but I guess the organization saw something in Schales…

    I know ERA doesn’t mean a whole lot anymore if you don’t have the stats to back it up, but cmon. He’s young and has had success.

    Jarlin had some nice splits against both sides of the plate in 2019.

    Twins did have interest in aquiring Elieser Hernandez earlier in the offseason, perhaps a trade??

    Jarlin has had some success at the ML level. Marlins make some questionable DFAs. I mean he don’t strike out a ton of people but still.
