The Miami Marlins feeder system had five games scheduled for Sunday afternoon, including a makeup of a fogged out contest between the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp and the Jackson Generals. The good guys only won one out of those five, but in the minors, it’s not always about wins and losses. First a few notes.
Shortstop Eddy Alvarez, signed as a minor league free agent by the Miami Marlins on Tuesday and assigned to the Jumbo Shrimp, was placed on the seven day injured list on Saturday. Outfielder Corey Bird was promoted from the Jupiter Hammerheads and joined the Jumbos for yesterday’s twin bill.
