The Marlins added a new pitcher to their rotation, with one of the best names I've heard this year.

With Rick VandenHurk headed back to Double-A, the Florida Marlins had a rotation spot left unoccupied. The team filled that spot with another Double-A righthander, purchasing the contract of Burke Badenhop from Double-A Carolina.

According to The Transaction Guy post, Burke induces a lot of ground balls, giving announcers plenty of opportunities to see Badenhops on errors. I wonder if he has a girlfriend named Natasha?

His minor league numbers show good control and the ability to keep the ball in the park. We'll see if he can do the same in the majors.
