July 2, 201511 yr A quick look at his numbers shows that this guy is...absolutely nothing and will likely never wear a Marlins uniform.
July 2, 201511 yr Good thing they didn't spend any of that money on free agents. I was nervous about how much money they have been spending so I'm glad they found a way to save some over the long term.

Best analogy I saw was that it is like "airline miles that you won't use". It's not like we actually gave up $500,000. That being said, we could certainly have found an international player to spend that money on that would be better than a Single-A player with really bad numbers.
July 2, 201511 yr As a positive, only 8 Walks in 71.2 IP. Here's an article on him... http://www.draysbay.com/2015/5/1/8509975/who-is-enderson-franco-rays-pitcher

July 2, 201511 yr 82 hits and only 47 strikeouts. That's bad. Never said he was good or not, just that he seems to never walk a hitter. Trying to find something positive in all this...
July 3, 201511 yr Just to clarify, #marlins trade international slots 71 and 101 totaling $500k to Tampa for RHP enderson franco.
July 3, 201511 yr IIRC, we got Matt Ramsey from the Rays last year for international $? Seems like every year, we're just going to pick up filler from the Rays and let them sign talent. To be fair, every single one of our minor league teams is under .500 and could use the help :blush
July 3, 201511 yr It's not like they were going to use that money to sign players, yesterday was international signing day and the Marlins didn't sign any of the top 30 prospects
July 3, 201511 yr At some point they have to use this international money. For fucks sake. Multiple weak(i.e. cheap) drafts in a row and the refuse to even consider being players internationally. It is beyond fucking ridiculous.
