July 24, 201313 yr Author Does he really offer any more than Ruggiano though? Neither are a future starter, and I'd say Ruggs plays that 4th OF position better....even given his terrible slump. I don't think anyone doubts Ruggiano > Gorkys. I do think he is much, much more valuable than what they traded him for...
July 24, 201313 yr The only thing Gorkys would have over Ruggiano is a better arm and more speed. That's it.
July 25, 201313 yr Author The only thing Gorkys would have over Ruggiano is a better arm and more speed. That's it. IF that. Their speed and arms are probably very close.
July 25, 201313 yr The only thing Gorkys would have over Ruggiano is a better arm and more speed. That's it. Well Ruggiano isn't in the future plans for this outfield, but is superior to Gorkys. That should underscore just how expendable Gorkys was.
July 25, 201313 yr Hernandez wasn't going to make it with the Marlins, but they should have tried to get something a little better than McClure in return.....that is my only gripe about this deal.

July 25, 201313 yr While Gorkys didnt have much value, its easy to believe he is better than a 24 year old middle infielder with an OPS of .570 in single A. Gorkys is only 25 and will make someone a fine 4th outfielder.
