    So is mibs gone now?

        No it doesn't and no I'm not. LeBlanc was likely picked up for organizational depth in case someone gets hurt again. It's not like we traded for Gio or Shields and signed Buerhle. Nice try though.

          So I briefly skimmed through the teams and I think the "best" destinations for Volstad are Kansas City, Chicago Cubs, Pittsburgh, or Houston. In return for him, I see it similar to the Andrew Miller deal last year.

            I'm not trying to ruffle your feathers but it really does. No need to pay Volstad 2M when they have basically the same guy but left handed for much cheaper.

              Javy Vazquez is probably not coming back and we might not sign anyone; there's still hope!

                Ah, but these are the new Marlins that are bidding on Pujols and Reyes. Money is not a concern anymore, right?

                  The difference is those players are good.

                    Yeah well if we don't sign another pitcher or both of Reyes and Pujols (which isn't happening), the team is not built to win and paying Volstad would still be a waste of money.

                        Doesn't mean they want to waste money.

                          If you get the same player but for cheaper, it makes sense to keep the more expensive one?

                              @JCRMarlinsbeat: Not out of options RT @daleja424 what sense does Leblanc make? He isn't a legit rotation option and he is out of options. I dot get it.

                                You're correct. He has one option left.
                                Nope, that did.
