Marlins Trade Anibal Sanchez & Omar Infante To Tigers For Jacob Turner & Prospects

[HUGG]

Daft, you're kinda my favorite poster.

But, sometimes, I also hate you.

We've got a love/hate deal going on here.

Call me. I may not pick up though.

[Namaste]

I have quite a few hateable (is that even a word) qualities but I tend to grow on people.

It just takes a few years for me to grow on people.

I think everybody knew we became sellers when we lost the series to the Cubs. Not just you.

"I don't think this team sucks nearly as much as they are playing"

YES

Don't crucify me for this but, I think we can actually make a run with a healthy Hanley, Stanton, Lee, Ruggiano hitting behind Reyes, Boner...it's a stretch of course, but I'm just saying.

This is a good team playing bad. I'd wait until after next year before a fire sale. Don't underestimate the pressure these guys are playing with under a new roof and a new logo. Hanley is a stud, and has at least a decade left in his tank - we should not dump him now.

& I love the trade we made today, for the record. Neither Infante or Anibal were long-term options for this team, and we get a 22 year-old 5-star in return. GOOD JOB F.O.!

P.S - I'm not stupid for saying we still are not out of it...just a hopeful fan

Jacob Turner @Jacob_Turner22
Want to thank the @tigers for all the opportunities and all the fans for supporting me. Excited to be a Marlin and start a new chapter!

[Madman81]

--------------------
I like how you think

According to Beinfest, Turner won't be in the minors for long [via Minervini on the broadcast]

The Futue Marlin prospects are usually Ny bound after the three year stint here !!

That comment thread makes me not like baseball anymore. Or facebook. Or the internet.

I don't use twitter, but during this time Infante has produced a 5 WAR, Uggla 4.6. Infante has made about $5.5 million during that time, Uggla around $17 million. (Mike Dunn also has surprisingly added a .4 positive WAR.)

The Marlins decimated the Braves. That guy on twitter can go fuck himself, and feel free to link back to this post as I count the $43 million the Braves still owe Uggla the next 3 1/3 seasons.

It's also especially stupid because we then used Infante to get something. While Turner was more Anibal, he still played a part in getting him plus a couple other ok prospects. Meanwhile Atlanta is stuck with that horrible contract.

Same with the Cabrera trade. Webb and Mujica is what we have to show for it currently...well, I guess that is basically nothing

Org pitching depth is super nice right now. All these guys are C+ or better prospects.

Turner
Heaney
Fernandez
Conley
Lowell
Hand (who has quietly had a really nice year as one of the youngest guys in the PCL)
James
Flynn
Brice
Urena
Koehler

You thought wrong.

As usual.

[Omar]

Namaste is our town oracle. Come on guys, everyone knows that.

[Ramp]

yep, that series was it... totes mcgotes

[Bucklin12]

It should also be noted that Flynn is a pretty cool pick up. Pretty significant upside with his size and above average velocity. Still young.
