I expected better

There was better but it keeps getting deleted.

@Buster_ESPN: TOR GM told a friend last week that he was working on a pie-in-the-sky trade that he didn't think would happen.

there's more

the section is called Toronto (formerly Florida) Marlins

In November of 2012, it was reported that Loria had agreed to trade half the Marlins team for a bunch of scrubs, bringing the payroll to $16 million for 2013. The $16 million is $11 million less than Alex Rodriguez makes in 1 season. Miami was forced to trim teachers and firefighters and police because Loria's profit off of revenue sharing wasn't enough for his liking. Loria is set to begin work for Ted Rogers in Canada on November 13th, 2012.

What did it say?

Can we be impartial about that line-up for a second...? There are worse line-ups in MLB than that.

Maybe Houston but we're probably second.

3B - Kouzmanoff/Solano/Cox < - Intense competition

just had to list Kouzmanoff first

uh

C - Brantly (got him Anibal)
1B - Lomo
2B - Hehavarria (got him Toronto, could be a Bonifacio type)
SS - Escobar (got toronto)
3B - Kouzmanoff/Solano/Cox < - Intense competition
LF - Solano/B. Petersen/Gorkys Hernandez
CF - Ruggiano
RF - Stanton


I mean, you'd expect another outfielder to be brought in at absolute minimum, but that's a pretty fucking bad lineup. There is really no hope for 2B/SS/3B, C and 1B are toss ups if they pan out, Ruggiano is not a sure bet but I like the idea of him being an average player, and Stanton will be walked 250-300 times

From a pure baseball standpoint, the Marlins did well with this deal. But this trade has a lot more ripples beyond the makeup of the roster.

They need his power!

[Ramp]

still can't believe they couldn't get Arencibia

edit: nay, prob didn't want to pay him in arbi

[BigGameFish]

Seattle? Mets?
... i guess that's about it.

But we weren't better than many others last season either.

Stanton
Lomo
Brantly
Ruggiano

in the middle isn't horrible...especially if Lomo will grow the hell up already. But "isn't horrible" I guess isn't saying anything good either.

YEAH we'll suck. But we already did.
