What did the Marlins receive for Miggy?

Im pretty sure it didnt work out well for the Marlins, i just dont remember the package
Those four, plus Eulogio DeLaCruz and Dallas Trahern.

Dontrelle Willis and his contract came Detroits way.

Gotcha, Miller and Maybin were the key pieces....Miller was projected as a future #1 and Maybin came up as a 5 tool future star
Miller looked that part.

No idea what they were basing Maybins hype on tbh. He never had an arm.

The "Miss" rate on these prospects is pretty high.....I havent checked on Moncada this season, he's considered the #1 prospect and he was absolutely dreadful last season in his first call up

.331/.401/.504/.905, 10 SB, 2 CS. That's in 34 games at AAA. Still a high-strikeout rate though.

Yeah, that seemed to be his big problem in his call up

I assume we see him after the Super 2

I can't express enough how much I love watching Chris Sale pitch.

Me either.

Well, sort of. Can't imagine what it'd be like if he was on "my" team.

Kershaw is the best, but he's my favorite.

When is Price making his season debut?

Monday.......Huge start for how the AL East could play out...His rehabs have been pretty bad, I dont put much weight in that, but looking forward to seeing how the elbow holds up (falls off)

I saw "highlights" of the first one that got cut short.


Definitely will be a difference maker, one way or the other.

Management over-paid. He was a below average fielder and a very streaky hitter.
He went too many games where he was unproductive in my opinion.

Overpaid? As of now it looks like Nick Ahmed turned out to be the center piece for the Dback in that deal. While he was a Brave, his contract was very team friendly.

Enjoy him while his arm lasts.
It's almost painful to watch the way he hyperextends and whips his throwing arm and shoulder.
If he has a long career he'll be a medical marvel.
