Marlins Trade SP Chris Volstad to Cubs for SP Carlos Zambrano

[Chewford]

There's always room on the SK Wyverns bandwagon.

[Jay]

Do they stream games Chewie?

[Big Z]

According to Rosenthal, Marlins view Big Z as 5th starter (hmm).

Also, according to Phil Rogers (Chicago Tribune) the Marlins and Cubs discussed Dominguez but Theo priority is on rotation building.

I can't wait to see what we do with Dominguez.

Why the "hmm"?

I don't get your "hmm"

Have him start and move Hanley to the centerfield to piss him off. He plays better that way.

Big Z has a huge ego, he's going to be pissed when he learns he's the 5th starter. Z is not the most understanding person out there.

This trade actually makes him better.

Hanley is a douche and acquiring Zambrano allows us to have a bigger douche. I've heard that Hanley not being the biggest douche is a good thing.

I doubt that.

I think he is going to be fucking stoked to get out of Chicago, get a new ballpark which is presumably a pitchers park, on a good team, and only has to behave for 1 year to get a big free agent contract

Woo and all

But I would have liked to have kept Volstad with obtaining another pitcher. Stash him in AAA and have him ready to come up when injuries do happen. I still believe (A tiny little) in him.

Hopefully Sanabia/Hand can hold that fort.

Or James has a big break out in AA. That'd be awesome.

not to split hairs because that would be cool, but a $2.5 arbitration tender in AAA is rough, and LeBlanc is probably # 6

This is ridiuclous

I think they're counting on LeBlanc to be that guy.

Forgot about LeBlanc
