Who's stupid enough to let him go through the rule 5 !?

 

 

For all the stats we can see in baseball, the CRAZIEST one to me is the fact that the Marlins are the only team that has ever given up on a player who later developed into a usable major leaguer. 

 

 

At least the Marlins were able to do the same with Nick Anderson. He might be dominating in Tampa Bay now, but the Twins pretty much gave him up to us for nothing and we flipped him for Jesus Sanchez.

Inaccurate. This has never happened for the Marlins, it only happens to the Marlins. Nick Anderson will win the Cy Young next season and for the next three seasons after that. Jesus Sanchez will hit .094 in his Major League Baseball™ career. 

 

 

There are a few Hall of Famers who were taken in the Rule 5 draft. Those teams that allowed them to get away should have went out of business.

Are you kidding? Have you looked at his numbers in Tampa Bay? He's gonna compete with Zac Gallen for the Cy Young this year, even though he is a relief pitcher and they are in separate leagues.

I thought Trevor Richards was going to win it this season in the AL. Obviously Gallen in the NL, I think they're actually changing the name and retroactively giving Cy Young a Zac Gallen Award.

 

 

who cares about the Marlins failures anyway?  We're all KC Royals fans now since we're buying the team right?

from the federal league ?

 

 

To be fair to the front office didn't really have a need for Canha at that time. As I recall he was solid player without a position obviously the outfield was in the capable hands of Ozuna, Yelich and Stanton, maybe he could've been a corner infielder, but I don't remember having much range at third, certainly looking at him now it's hard to believe he was allowed to go in the Rule 5 draft, but I'm sure the Diamondbacks would've loved to have had the production of Uggla for his first few years.
