Marlins optioned LHP Brad Hand, RHPs Alex Sanabia and Evan Reed, 3B Matt Dominguez, OF Kevin Mattison and C Kyle Skipworth to Triple-A New Orleans. Hand gave the Marlins some decent outings at times last season and will likely be the team's "No. 6" starter going into the 2012 campaign, though Sanabia could also wind up holding that unofficial title if he's healthy. Dominguez is still terrific with the glove but simply hasn't progressed with the bat as hoped.
