Yea, i'm going to assume they're going to call Gaby up.

Probably Dobbs or Kearns. They should really avoid bringing up Gaby. He doesn't deserve early arbitration after how poorly he's played.

Dodgers acquired Victorino, wooo.

It's definitely possible, but they are stupid if they do.

With the dodgers trading for victorino. That may force the diamondbacks to make a move for that ace. Jj?

You call Gaby up, hope he finishes strong.

Or you keep him down there to prevent arbitration and give him another shot next year.

 

The merits of the first option is that you may be able to move him for a medium level bullpen type if he plays well, and cut him if he does not.

The issue with the latter option is that Morrison needs to play 1B, he will not stay healthy in the OF.

Like I said, most moves are Dodgers, Phillies, and Cubbies so far... and pretty much all rumors involve one of those teams.

 

Where are the Marlins and Rangers and DBacks and BlueJays in all of this? dammit. :poke

They are better off keeping him in the system next year for depth. It's unlikely that he goes on a tear for the final two months and brings back anything of value.

 

He's not a bad security option next season if Morrison's knee blows out or his bat struggles to the point where it warrants a demotion.

Sounds like at this point the Marlins are only inclined to trade players that other teams don't want.

The #Marlins say they plan to put Carlos Lee on waivers if they can't trade him by today's non-waiver deadline.

I am tired of the FO bashing, but that was funny.

Nicely done.

If we stick Buck and Bell to Lee, would that just count as one big fat player to let them go easier? Those 3 can make like a fat guy Voltron.
