He's likely looking for a 1 year deal to prove himself before trying out free agency again. Throw some money at him and get a really thorough doctor to perform his physical.

SilverBullet Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I haven't followed morrow closely as of late but from what I remember a few years back I'd love to give him a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollythewog Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 idk morrow is one of those guys who is perpetually "unlucky" in that his FIP is always lower than his ERA which tells me there's something else there... see Ricky Nolasco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Fan10 Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 , Eovaldi has not lived up to his potential , but give me the started who can hit 100 any day. Now if he can't make that next step this year than its time to move on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poptart Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Since everybody's throwing an opinion out here I'll go on record as saying imo Eovaldi>Miley. Nothing Miley has done in his career is all too impressive and at this rate Eovaldi and Miley have been equals. I'll take Eovaldi for the simple fact that he's 4 years younger than Miley and walks less batters. he has less service time, and has a better K/9 and K/BB. and his 1st Inning ERA is 2 runs less than Eovaldi's. if it's a straight up trade it's a good deal.

This. Age is irrelevant to the Marlins, it's service time that they care about. In an ass-backwards kind of way I'd almost rather have the 28 year old with less service time because he's got more professional innings under his belt, he's seen more highs and lows and he's more likely to have immediate success IMO. They've both had success, they're both coming off a down year, but Miley offers the left-hand we are missing and brings proven durability. Plus, Marlins Park, yo.

Exactly why I think the dbacks wanted more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltimaKilo Posted November 25, 2014 Author Share Posted November 25, 2014 The more I think about it the more I'm also leaning towards Miley. He's more durable, a smidge better, and might be more ready to win now. Fish Fan 10: problem is that if you give him another year and he doesn't develop, his trade value plummets. Maybe the Marlins see something, and it seems like the more we all look at it, the more we agree with the trade. However, dim is absolutely right: nobody should get too high or too low about this trade. IF it's an upgrade, it's minor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
