Florida Marlins Rookie of the Year winner Chris Coghlan is, all at once, eager to share his beliefs but concerned about how they'll be received.
There will be no long-term contract for Marlins pitcher Josh Johnson. Not this year. And probably not ever.
So said the All-Star pitcher's agent Friday.
Chris Coghlan became the third Marlins player to win NL Rookie of the Year honors, but he was the first to do so at a foreign position and in an unfamiliar spot in the batting order.

Fredi Gonzalez is now unwinding in Georgia -- `just to clear my head' -- after a few turbulent days when his Marlins future was unclear.
Who would have imagined that a home run by Phillies slugger Ryan Howard would turn into a legal tug of war with a 12-year-old kid from Miami?

Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez and his coaching staff remained in a state of uncertainty Monday as team owner Jeffrey Loria met with front office executives in New York to discuss their futures.
Remember in spring training when some people were writing that the Marlins had perhaps one of the top three or four starting rotations in the majors?
Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez is being evaluated as we speak by Jeffrey Loria and his lieutenants at the club owner's New York digs. It seems only fair that Loria might also be under evaluation -- preferably by doctors probing whether he is mentally fit to run a major-league ballclub in light of apparent new evidence to the contrary.
The Marlins' failure to make the playoffs reportedly has upset team owner Jeffrey Loria, and manager Fredi Gonzalez and his staff could be on the hot seat.
If it's true that Marlins manager Fredi Gonzalez is on the verge of being replaced, and team president David Samson did nothing to dispel the rumors that have suddenly circulated, then Jeffrey Loria has officially become a meddler.
Wes Helms stretched his arm and body as far as he possibly could. But he couldn't come up with Paul Hoover's soft liner, which glanced off the third baseman's glove for the game-ending hit.
The Marlins won their fourth consecutive game to clinch second place in the NL East as Hanley Ramirez secured the batting title.
Rick VandenHurk pitched six solid innings and Jorge Cantu drove in three runs as the Marlins beat the Phillies.
Even though the Marlins will finish with the third-highest win total in franchise history, Larry Beinfest said the organization is ``disappointed'' that the club failed to reach the playoffs.
Reliever Brendan Donnelly said he didn't deserve credit for the save in Wednesday's victory in Atlanta.
``Ronny Paulino should get the save for that one,'' Donnelly said of the catcher.
