Posted October 11, 200717 yr Florida Marlins Outrighted C Paul Hoover, OF Todd Linden and INF Jason Wood to Triple-A Albuquerque; Houston Astros claimed OF Reggie Abercrombie off waivers; Activated RHP Jose Garcia from the 60-day disabled list; Garcia was claimed off waivers from the Marlins. Blockbuster news I know. I was scouring the MLB transactions. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/transactions/index.jsp
October 11, 200717 yr Good luck in Houston Reggie. Edited the topic to add in that Jose Garcia was claimed by the Athletics.
October 11, 200717 yr Glad to see Abercrombie gone, but Jose Garcia I will miss. He had a lot of potential, and injuries kept us from seeing how good he could be.
October 11, 200717 yr Author Athletics claimed RHP Jose Garcia off waivers from the Marlins. A nice pickup for Oakland. Garcia missed the entire season and probably won't be ready for spring training after Tommy John surgery, but if his arm comes back at 100 percent, he could be a force in a relief role. The Marlins should have held on to him.
October 11, 200717 yr Meh Why do we really need room on our 40 man roster right this instance to risk losing a good relief arm? Sigh
October 11, 200717 yr Mind boggling how we let that happen with Jose Garcia. 22 years old, filthy stuff, Marlins minor league player of the year in 2006. Pathetic to let him slide through waivers.
October 11, 200717 yr The operative word in the quote above is "if"... Perhaps a roster management issue, with moves anticipated. Certainly the Marlins know better than anyone the status of the guy's arm.
October 11, 200717 yr Glad to see Abercrombie gone, but Jose Garcia I will miss. He had a lot of potential, and injuries kept us from seeing how good he could be. took the words right out of my mouth. i always liked garcia, he showed great potential at times. losing him could come back to bite us in the ass. but losing abercrappy makes me a happy man
October 11, 200717 yr sad day to be a Marlins fan and a glorious one to be an Astros fan Kool Aid in the Juice Box!
October 11, 200717 yr sad day to be a Marlins fan and a glorious one to be an Astros fan Kool Aid in the Juice Box! That's awesome! The next best place would have been Tampa Bay (Tropicana Field)
October 12, 200717 yr Kool-aid will blitz it up somewhere. I'm confident we will look retarded because of this.
October 12, 200717 yr Abercrombie goes from my Fish to my Stros...whatever. But Jose . What a ridiculous move by the Marlins.
October 12, 200717 yr Reggie!!! Say it ain't so Good luck in Houston, man. You called him a "dick", lol.
