November 22, 201114 yr The Marlins have traded catcher John Baker to the Padres for left-hander Wade LeBlanc, according to a press release from the Padres.
November 22, 201114 yr wow kind of weird. brett hayes must be happy. gonna miss him but its sad because he was a very good catcher with a good bat. if he gets back to what he used to do they will love him. at least hes a california guy.
November 22, 201114 yr long reliever? 5th starter would be my guess.. god i hope not. that would not be my definition of shoring up the rotation.
November 23, 201114 yr Everytime I get a current players jersy they end up traded. Uggla,Maybin , Cantu and now Baker. Hopefully same doesnt continue on with my Coghlan and Johnson jerseys.
November 23, 201114 yr could just be for depth. Genuinely looks to me like they intend upon in more than one way acquiring some bats (preferably through free agency). The roster seems to be somewhat of a mess right now. I can't imagine they'd be willing to go through with what they've got with the batting lineup and the bench. Perhaps that's a good sign though.

November 23, 201114 yr Either Baker or Hayes had to go. I don't know how the Marlins plan to use LeBlanc, but I sure hope I don't see him and his career 4.54 ERA in the rotation.

Perhaps that's a good sign though. yeah but a trade for a guy like leblanc should be just in case someone gets injured but they want to add two established starters so that is probably the case.

Threatened by what? Baker watching him from the stands?

Threatened by what? Baker watching him from the stands? threatened by the fact that before baker go hurt his numbers were a lot better than bucks? he could hit for a decent average and get on base which buck cant seem to do.
November 23, 201114 yr He has a career 2.96 ERA at home which is a pitchers ballpark. Our new ballpark is also supposed to be a pitchers ballpark so just don't use him in away games and he should be fine.
November 23, 201114 yr I liked Baker. Don't really care for who we got back, but it wasn't like I was expecting Baker to be a package for Gio.

Dr. B, Are you telling me I can't get the new jersey with Stanton like I wanted?
