He's moments away from giving up on this team for being too cheap. He'll be a fan again by tomorrow morning though.

"After adding Pop and catcher Paul Campbell from the Rays with their own pick in the Rule 5 draft, the Marlins 40-man roster is currently full"

Paul Campbell is a CATCHER !?

Besides Dan Uggla, the Marlins' most "famous" Rule 5 Draft pick is Johan Santana who was then immediately traded to the Twins for Jared Camp.

But I just found out something I hadn't realized until now... The Marlins picked Santana number 2 in the draft, the Twins picked Camp number 1 in the same draft....

Can anyone explain to me why this happened like this? They say that this was a prearranged deal too so if the Twins wanted Santana and they had the first pick why didn't they just pick Santana themselves? This completely blows my mind.

The Twins mistook Jared Camp for Johan Santana …

So by that logic, if winter is over, then it's spring and that means training... PLAY BALL!
