Potentially awful news for Marlins
A league source told MLB.com that Josh Johnson has a significant problem with his elbow and could miss an extended portion of the season. The Marlins haven't suggested anything of the sort, but it wouldn't come as much of a surprise. Sergio Mitre, Yusmeiro Petit and Jose Garcia are candidates to win the rotation spot vacated by Johnson.

you are just so right
Hughes and Bailey, on the other hand, are golden just because they throw curveballs, since every curveball is the same.
Come on.

Just to keep in mind!
Bravesin07 - you make good points about sliders and curveballs, but keep in mind that Hughes has already had shoulder inflammation, even without throwing a slider, so just because pitchers throw curveballs and not sliders, doesn't guarantee they'll stay healthy.
In fact, you can't guarantee any pitcher will stay healthy no matter what he throws. There are also pitchers who throw sliders who have had no major arm problems in their careers, so just presuming that curveball pitchers will be durable and slider pitchers will be injury-prone isn't accurate in my opinion.
Just my 2 cents. :-)
Take care and have a great day!

more bad news
im sure anibal sanchez will get hurt at some point this year too.
silver lining: our new wave of young starters - petit, gaby hernandez, jose garcia, brett sinkbeil, hell even sergio mitre - gets a chance, 1 or 2 of them step up, and in 2008 we have the best of the 06' and 07' squads, with maybe a Chris Volstad or a Sean West thrown in there for the best rotation in the national league.
after we trade dontrelle for rocco baldelli, we have the best lineup in the nl as well,
Ramirez
Uggla
Cabrera
Willingham
Baldelli
Hermida
Jacobs
Olivo
Oh yeah!

the nl east...
p.s., no way do you guys make the playoffs this year. if you did, you'd have to win the world series. and, if you win the world series, your owner would have to have a fire sale. but it's not technically possible to sell your parts off for cheaper ones, given the ridiculously low amount everyone costs now. therefore, your owner would be caught in the extremely awkward position of either having to hold onto a winner (which i don't think anyone would stand for), or having to hold the first "fire sale" where you paid the new team more than the old. frankly, just to avoid that, i'd guess you owner will have you throw games before you make the playoffs and put him in that awkward position.
but maybe i'm just letting my imagination run away with me.

Why on earth...
Trading a #1 SP for a 6-hitter with a bad OBP, declining speed, and an injury history doesn't seem very wise to me.

Re: OPS
Also, Rocco didn't even have 400ABs last year. He needs to repeat this performance before he has a legit claim to arriving. Afterall, over 1/2 of his 16 HRs were in one hot month.

Baldelli is a future Hall of Famer
20 years from now, he's in f***ing Cooperstown. Bank on it.
