Entendu Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Meh, they're both question marks. Miley could benefit from our park, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Miley is a better pitcher than Eovaldi. I'd rather just sign a pitcher though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wild Card Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Really good swap for both franchises. I'd prefer Miley, honestly. We need an established lefty with upside more than we need a high velocity righty with upside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 The lefty/righty part of it should be irrelevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltimaKilo Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 By how much is uncertain. He's certainly more durable and we do lack a lefty, but other than that, this trade could just be a wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ren83 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I will not do that. I will give Eovaldi one last chance and its not that Miley is a #2 or #3 starter any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollythewog Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Miley is pretty good. I'd rather have him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBullet Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'm curious as to how D-Backs fans would view this potential trade before I make any judgment. Seems like a wash at first glance and I'd lean towards giving Eovaldi another chance before making a lateral trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erick Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I will not do that. I will give Eovaldi one last chance and its not that Miley is a #2 or #3 starter any way To be fair, yes he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pollythewog Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'd imagine the dbacks wanted more than eovaldi for Miley which is why the trade didn't happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilverBullet Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 My dad interviewed Dwayne Wade's dad for a job position a few years back. The guy straight up said, "I'm Dwayne Wade's dad, I don't need this job, I'm just looking for a job to not be bored at home all day." He didn't get the position.

ren83 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Id rather go for Liriano rather than Miley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricOwens! Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 To be fair, yes he is. This seems like a very lateral move at first glance. Granted I haven't really seen Miley pitch so my opinion doesn't mean much. What makes you believe Miley is so good? Does he have as much potential as Eovaldi?

Piazza31 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I'd push for Jason Hammel or a similar pitcher if I really wanted a starter- throw money at 2's, 3's and 4's- not prospect or young vets. You don't add to a MLB team that's building by trading MLB talent with potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canada-marlin24 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 Don't like it. Much rather keep Eovaldi who can be downright dominant when he learns to use both sides of the plate. Bad second half but I would not give up on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dim Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 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. I could see why the Marlins would make that trade since Miley has three straight years of basically 200 innings pitched and was a consistent #3 pitcher in 2012/2013. I just feel the stock on Eovaldi has dropped greatly from our own fanbase and many people are willing to trade him for meh players at this point. Don't get me wrong I feel that Miley's a pretty good pitcher, but I'd bank on Eovaldi's upside and him being more the 2013 guy than his 2014 self. To be fair though it would be a pretty sideways trade. You have just as good a shot of Miley breaking out and becoming a #2 as Eovaldi does really. Hell both of them become free agents at the same time after 2017, so service time really doesn't play a factor here. As I was writing this and I looked over some of the game logs and they really are pretty much the same pitcher. 19 of Miley's 33 starts were quality starts, Eovaldi 20 of his 33 starts. Miley went 7 or more innings in a start 13 times last year, Eovaldi 11 times. Eovaldi walks a lot less hitters, but Miley is coming off a career high in K's and bested Eovaldi by 41 in basically the same amount of innings. It's basically a toss up between these two. If it's a straight up Eovaldi for Miley trade nobody should really get all that excited or all too upset. It's really a lateral move. But if the Marlins think at 28 years old and hitting his 4th year in the league that Miley is just about to hit his prime years while Eovaldi might need another year or two of seasoning to get right, then they probably should make that trade if offered. But I'm fine with Eovaldi or with Miley, really too similar imo to care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I was a little on the fence about this at first, but when I realized Miley was more "eh" than I thought, I'd rather just keep Eovaldi and hope he can improve. Right now, it seems like he's just a thrower rather than a pitcher. "I can throw this at 98 mph, try and hit it! ... Oh ... you can. Maybe this guy can't, though?" He needs to work on the change-up and locating the breaking pitches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
