June 26, 20179 yr Lee is the better prospect. Has virtually no power at all but he's fast as hell. He's found more of a line drive swing this year leading to the better BA. Had a hard time making the jump to AA last year and had to repeat this year it that's common for B type prospects. He's a top of the order catalyst with good patience who finds ways on base. The lack of power is unfortunate but this guy should easily be in our top 30. It's funny we got him when we did with Kyle's Barrett, virtually the same type of player getting called up to the Shrimp. Should be a fun outfield to follow with those two and thebpower hitting Norwood out there.
June 26, 20179 yr Clark has decent numbers in A ball, but he's 22 and he's 6' 5 and only throws 90. From Baseball Prospectus after a May start: Ethan Clark, RHP, Tampa Bay Rays (Low-A, Bowling Green): 6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 6 K Drafted in the 15th round out of the JUCO ranks in 2015, Clark was looked at as a lottery ticket. He has ideal size (6-foot-5, 235 pounds), a big fastball (up to 96), and athleticism. While his feel for spin isn’t the best, things could be worse.
June 26, 20179 yr Marlins got two prospects? for Exshaverreah ? They could have picked up more prospects if quantity was the goal.
June 26, 20179 yr Honestly this isn't that bad of a return for hechavamierda and they paid his salary.
June 26, 20179 yr The Marlins won this trade as soon as Hechavarria was off the roster. The Marlins won the trade when they sent Hechavarria to the DL. He has been worth negative wins (also known as losses) in his career. One of the five worst players in baseball was just removed from our team, and people are acting like the players we got back even matter.

Hmm the report I read was from when he was drafted so he must've improved. Dumb of me to assume he didn't.
June 26, 20179 yr Good trade. He was probably going to be non-tendered after this season anyway. Yeah what was he looking at next year, 6 million or so? I can't imagine he would have gotten tendered.
June 26, 20179 yr NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
June 26, 20179 yr I'm surprised they found a trade partner. I assumed he'd be DFA'd. This is why I like the trade. If we got back two human beings with a pulse who have ever played a professional baseball game we got back way more than I would have ever expected for Hech. That's so sad but it's true. And them taking his salary without us having to throw in a single other player or cash or anything else makes this a positive move for us.
June 26, 20179 yr I was never a fan of Hech, but he's also not as bad as some are saying. This seems like a fair trade.
June 26, 20179 yr Author I was never a fan of Hech, but he's also not as bad as some are saying. This seems like a fair trade. Agreed. In the scope of Major League Baseball players, he's not good. Actually quite bad. However, the transaction is for 2 guys that may never even get to that level. Factor in the fact that they took the salary and that makes this at least an average move. Now we wait and see how their evaluations of these guys pan out
