Chris Coghlan, who has missed time with back problems this spring, had two hits and two runs scored as the Marlins defeated the Mets 3-1 on Thursday.
Neither Scott Cousins nor Bryan Petersen has done much of anything this spring, so Coghlan might yet be a candidate to make the Marlins. It could well come down to playing time; if the Marlins don't think they can get enough at-bats, it'd make more sense to let him start regularly in Triple-A initially. Coghlan also needs to prove he's healthy, of course. He's 3-for-9 in five games to date.
