Oh Man! Marlins trade VandenHurk to O's for RP Will Ohman

[Beef]

Will Ohman is my favorite.

Also, I think its funny when a guy that isnt good who got some appearances before he was "ready" and then gets more learning opportunities in the minors but never turns into a star is treated like a woman that was involved in a gang-bang and then tries to get into a serious loving relationship. Maybe the guy wasn't ruined, maybe he just isnt very good.

Once he gives up a hit, he will get Wes Helms treatment here

See, here's the thing. The fact that he wasn't developed properly is irrelevant at this point. It's the equivalent of a sunk cost in business. Completely irrelevant for decision-making going forward. He is what he is, and at 25, it's going to be very difficult to get him "back on track" before he's just past his prime. He's had a very pedestrian year in AAA. He has always had a sexy K/9, but unfortunately it just hasn't translated into results. Maybe he'll figure it out in Baltimore, but probably not.

The issue though is

5 years of RVH as a serviceable reliever v.s. 2 months of Ohman as a serviceable reliever when we're out of the race.

I don't think losing RVH hurts us at all, I just think it's a pointless trade.

Though if it helps us resign Ohman for ~1.5m or something after the season then cool beans.

Though I'm personally worried about Ohman cuz his K/BB against lefties since coming back from injury is bad but it's also small sample size and his overall stats on the year are basically his career stats.

> IS THAT RAY FINKLE?: Newly acquired left-handed specialist Will Ohman, acquired from the Orioles when the Marlins were in San Diego over the weekend, began moving into his new locker at Sun Life Stadium Tuesday. At least we thought it was Ohman.

The 33-year old quirky veteran greeted the media wearing an aqua colored t-shirt with the number five and the last name Finkle spelled across the back, an ode to the fictional character in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective starring Jim Carrey. "I thought it was it finally appropriate to break it out," Ohman said. "Dolphins colors. Why not?"

Among the goodies Ohman was stuffing into his locker: An action figure of The Dude from The Big Lebowski, "complete with rug," as Ohman pointed out. "He lost his shades in one of the moves," said Ohman, who has pitched for the Cubs, Braves, Dodgers and Orioles since 2007. "I can bring some levity."
