January 31, 200818 yr Marlins signed third baseman Dallas McPherson to a one-year contract. McPherson was non-tendered by the Angels after missing all of last season following back surgery, but is still just 27 years old and is certainly worth taking a flier on as a potential replacement for Miguel Cabrera. He'll compete with Jose Castillo and Jorge Cantu for playing time at third base and has the power potential to emerge with fantasy value at some point. ---RotoWorld.com
February 1, 200818 yr I don't know as much about this guy as many of you do, but based on the strong desire for this guy some people have, well, let him come and compete.
February 1, 200818 yr I like the fact that we have 3 guys who will have compete and earn their position on the team . This is a nice low risk high reward signing

February 1, 200818 yr I'm amuse by the optimism everybody have with a guy who mist all of 2007 with back surgery and hit .247 with 18 HR and was non tender by the team that drafted him !!!wow
February 1, 200818 yr McPherson or no, I still think third base is Jose Castillo's job to lose. As long as McPherson is healthy, I gotta go ahead and say you're crazy. Right now it looks like Castillo's gonna be a nice backup infielder and Jorge Cantu is probably gonna be competing for a major-league contract from another team while he plays for us this spring.

I agree. Think of McPherson as you would of Hermida. The talent is there, but injuries have gotten in the way.

February 1, 200818 yr Dallas on the 40-man roster and Chris Seddon DFA. With Dallas out of options if healthy he's pretty much guaranteed a spot on the 25-man maybe even the 3b job.
February 1, 200818 yr Marlins are splurging now! I actually like the Gonzales and McPherson signings. If nothing else this offense should be fun to watch.
February 1, 200818 yr i love that its going to breed alot of competition at third...and that can only be a good thing

February 1, 200818 yr thats what im talking about! this will really make things exciting, boat load of talent in McPherson.
February 1, 200818 yr ok...just curious...say the guy has a great first half...do we extend him during the season or after the season or if he has a good year is he as good as gone?
February 1, 200818 yr ok...just curious...say the guy has a great first half...do we extend him during the season or after the season or if he has a good year is he as good as gone? Isn't he still arbitration eligible? He doesn't have too much MLB service time...

Isn't he still arbitration eligible? He doesn't have too much MLB service time... i wasnt sure...thats why i figured i would find out...i mean if he has a great year...that comforts the blow of trading away a future hall of famer quite a bit
February 1, 200818 yr I loved the Cantu signing and I love this one even better. In Dallas and Jorge we have 2 guys who if they can put it together can end up being offensive threats; whichever one gets the shot of course. Hopefully the Gonzalez signing means Maybin can get a little more seasoning at AA and Ross starts in CF. This lineup has so much pop its unbelievable.
February 1, 200818 yr If he stays healthy, I can't forsee him having a bad year. He's just too talented... This is one of my favorite signings in a long time.
February 1, 200818 yr Alright, I got very depressed when the mets grabbed Santana. Very depressed considering we should face him on opening day. But the last two signings have made me feel much better. Nice job, Beinfest. Nice job. :jackson
