Marlins Acquire Carlos Lee for Matt Dominguez, Rob Rasmussen

[Todd]

I dont know, I am mostly known for 2 absolute statements and my disdain for the way they draft...skeptical of Willingham and Gaby Sanchez. I admitted I was wrong about Willingham. Aside from that though I think I am fairly low-key and make level headed remarks.

Unless the perception of him has changed recently (and I know Jupiter is playing him in CF) the real caveat on him is that he's a corner player at the major league level. That's fine and all, but for a guy who grades solid average at just about every hitting tool, I don't know if that's ideal for a corner player.

His walk rates are nice, his 2:1 K:BB is encouraging and his build (6'4'') suggests that he may have some room to fill out (he's listed at 190 but I don't think he weighs that much), but that likely means that as his power numbers (read: homers) come up, his doubles have to come down, since, just a guess, some of those are based purely on his legs, which would be impacted by getting thicker.

Also, he looks like what would happen if you blended Logan Morrison and Mike Stanton's faces together.

You're not.

Dominguez had a .942 fielding percentage for New Orleans. He has committed 11 errors in 78 games this year.

[Todd]

You're not.

How so. I dont even post that much.

"AAA is pointless for hitting prospects. No one send them there anymore."

That was my favorite.

[Bobbob1313]

The Chad James thing too.

[Fritz]

At least a frog survived.

[Todd]

To be fair, I was a tad extreme on Chad James but he hasnt been anywhere near good since being drafted and that post was made in anger over another player being passed over in that draft.

[Mainge]

You were being silly. And he was good last year.

[Miamarlin21]

I still don't understand why James is not in Jacksonville yet or even in April.

[Mainge]

I didn't get making him repeat either.

[Miamarlin21]

And he's "regressed" since last year. His K/9, WHIP, H/9 are all up a tiny bit from last year.

Completely and totally meaningless.



Anyway,

I like this trade.

He was mediocre last year.
