Enrique Hernandez is a 23-year-old with a .746 OPS in the majors, who is on pace for 2.7 fWAR per 162 games this season -- 2.0 fWAR in 90 career games in the majors. He's a starting-caliber major-league player and the Marlins organization is very low on those.
Hatcher is whatever, totally expendable.
And Heaney would be the team's second-best starter right now.
Dee is awesome, but he's more of a low-700's OPS guy and his baserunning has been kinda abysmal this season for whatever reason. If he's more of a 3 WAR player than what he looked like for the first two months, then that trade looks kinda like a disaster.
Especially since they clearly threw in more young talent to get the Dodgers to cover Haren's contract. Which is, ultimately, the problem. They keep throwing away young talent because they can't operate like a real major-league team financially. That isn't acceptable or sustainable. You can throw away young talent if you have money. You can't do what the Marlins do.
I really don't think this will be a big deal. If Gordon is a 3 WAR 2B, that is pretty great. Heaney is going to have to be tremendous to overcome that, as it's really likely those other guys are platoon/bench guys at best.

What bothers me most about the Dee Gordon deal is that I believe they were given a choice between Heaney and Nicolino, and chose to trade Heaney because he was bad in a small sample here. It really says a lot about this organization if that's true.

Originally posted by marlinsfan24 View PostMaybe read Marlin Maniac some time, I talked highly of Barnes all the time. I liked Hatcher last year and wanted to see Kike become the every day second baseman rather than acquire someone else.
